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 =)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Sekyal · Posted

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
