Discussion on how to review games for newspapers
David
Another email discussion between Niels ‘t Hooft and me at Bashers.nl.
See: November 17-21, 2008. ‘David en Niels in gesprek over reviews’.
Part 1 (Niels ‘t Hooft);
Part 2 (me);
Part 3 (Niels ‘t Hooft);
Part 4 (me);
Part 5 (Harry Hol).
The discussion started with Niels reviewing the Xbox 360 exclusive Too Human in his newspaper (nrc.next) and fellow game journalist Harry Hol calling him out for not playing the entire game (but only the demo). That discussion started our email discussion and generated a massive amount of comments at Bashers.nl (almost all of them are of extremely hight quality). I learned a lot from this discussion and I will definitely rethink my own reviewing practices and writing style. Thanks for all those who commented!
