Welcome to Game Ratings


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the new Game Ratings forum!

If you've played a game recently and want to share a review with everyone here at Neowin, then this is the place to do it. Please take note of the forum rules posted above, and make sure that every thread has a tag!

For the sake of unity, this forum is not platform specific. In fact, we encourage Multi Platform reviews here. For example The Simpsons Game was released on several platforms. Instead of having several threads, one for each platform, please create just the one thread and use the [MP] tag to indicate that it's a multiplatform review. You can include the platform you're reviewing on as well if you want to, for example [MP][X360]The Simpsons Game.

Any questions - please contact a moderator, or post here!

Enjoy!

I think we should count it as one to reduce clutter.

edit: just thought, it would only cause more clutter in the thread itself.

So we should do 5 diff threads on each game in orange box?

Each title is its own game so yeah I would count them different.

I must say, this is a good idea, but I don't like the "MP" idea. It should just say "All" since MP can also stand for multi-player. it was a little confusing when I first noticed this forum.

maybe a [All][360]Game Title format would be more acceptable? or should we drop the [360] part of it, and just say what platform it is for, and discuss what platform you are reviewing it under inside the topic? or vice versa

another idea, we could put just the platform(s) the game is available on, and in the sub title, put what system were reviewing it for:

[All]Game Title

Xbox360 Review

I usually put game reviews on my own personal blog. Is it ok to put a chunk of the review here and put a link to read the rest of the review on my blog? (coz I usually take screenshots of the game and copy-pasting a bunch of text is not the way to go)

Yeah I thought the MP stands for MultiPlayer when I first saw it lol. So if I want to put a Call of Duty PC review but someone else has put an XBOX one, I need to post the review inside the post?

Not really, no. If you copy/pasted the ENTIRE text review, and then linked to the blog entry at the bottom for screenshots - I don't think I'd have a problem with that. But only if you paste the WHOLE review, not just a chunk of it.

Just a thought, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a poll at the top of every review, 1-10, to see how everybody else rates it.

Then people would be able to see what the reviewer rated it, and the general rating from the rest of the forum.

That's what topic ratings are for =)

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
