Reviews Database

Post by Dog Pants »

Ladies and gentlemen, 5punk now has a reviewsdatabase. The reviews can be accessed from the front page, and all registered users can submit them. If a review already exists you can add comments with your own opinions, or just click on the stars to set your own rating. The review score people see will be the aggregate of our submissions, like IMDB.

To submit your own review:

From +New menu on the top bar on the front page, click Post. In the post, enter the game's name in the title field, and in Categories on the right hand side select Review. The category is important - if you do not do this the review will not show up in the database, but it will appear on the front page.

Fill in the review text. How much or little is up to you, but try to put enough in to be informative. Screenshots can be added, html code can be used. It isn't important to make it pretty like a front page post, although the nicer it looks the easier it tends to be to read.

You can see your work in progress as it would appear on the site by clicking on the Preview button on the right hand side. Once you're happy with it submit the review by clicking on the Publish button. If you want to come back later without publishing it, click on the Save Draft button. Don't worry if you fuck up a little, you can go back and edit the article.

I'll come back and expand on these instructions at some point with pretty pictures, but it's not complicated once you get used to the interface. Alternatively, put a post on the forum and I'm happy to copy and paste it into the review database. At the moment there's only one in there, so get reviewing!
