Write a Video Game Review
Video games are all the rage these days. The gaming industry is booming, and is estimated to be worth 86 billion dollars by 2016!. This stimulates the growth of video game review sites, and video game reviewing is a very profitable business. This article will teach you how to cash in on the game boom and write your own video game review.
Steps
- Play the game. When doing so, take notes of what you liked and what you didn't. Try to go over every feature of the game for the highest quality review.
- Write a short introduction about 2-3 sentences that sums up the game but don't spoil it too much and catches the reader's attention!
- Write the notes you took, and add to them. After the introduction, the review itself begins. Write, add and connect the notes you took.
- Write things you really liked or really hated. If you hated or liked something very specific in the game such as a map, a gameplay feature, a really annoying glitch etc., add it as well.
- Include every concept of the game including the graphics, music, cinematics, story, content, controls, gameplay, and your own opinion.
- Write about examples and references of the game to back up your argument and give the reader an idea of what you are talking about without giving out too much spoilers.
- Write an ending paragraph. Sum it all up with an ending paragraph. Write a sentence about the game, list the pros and cons, and give a score.
Tips
- Don't forget images, or even videos.
- Make sure to write a review about everything in the game you can including the graphics, music, controls, story, cinematics, content, gameplay, and your opinion.
- When giving the game a score, be sure to rate it based on its graphics, music, story, controls, gameplay, and opinion by adding them up and dividing it for an average.
- Be sure to avoid giving out obvious information about the game (publisher, year, developer) as this is a review of the game, not a summary of the game's statistics.
- Write it in a third person perspective and try to avoid making it sound like it was written by a video game fanboy and not by a professional gaming critic.
