Becoming a strategy game reveiwer Inflate your Upload Space

Hi,

We need reviewers for our site www.strategyinformer.com (Im sorry if its not allowed to post URLs).

So we need people older then 20 years to write for our site. Our site deals mainly & only with PC strategy games.

As a reviewer you would get all free strategy games for reviewing. And you wont be payed.

If this interests you and if you think you can write about strategy games email me at magpie@strategyinformer.com

Moderators I hope you dont mind me posting this message. We really need to find some decent people for the job and this seems like a good place for it.

Looking forward on hearing from you.

Magpie

We have no problem with people creating a "single" thread to support another gaming site. Just don't be posting this in more forums.

Tired of ads?

Hi everybody,

First theres really no catch. We need to have up-to-date articles on our site. And Game Developers send us games cause its almost a free advertisement for them. Works both ways. We have currently 3 reviewers and theres too many games for them to cover. So I wanted to find 2 more.

So the deal is: you get the game and have 2 weeks to review it. You can keep the games of course. All I care is that I get a good review. Thats it. Means much to us, to you and to Game Developers in the end so its just how it is. As I said you wont be paid for your work. You will only get the games. Which is far enough for most of the people.

I will first want to read some of your articles. If you wrote any.

Harry Seldon please email me to magpie@strategyinformer.com.

Trust me this isnt as easy as it looks as not everybody can write.

> Moderators thank you. I appreciate it.

As for years. From my experience people under 20 years arent good writers. Of course its not a strict rule. Just my experience so far.

Zero we need people who know english good. If you and your friend do know it please email me as well and well go from there.

Thank you all!

Sorry, I don't normally correct people on an internet forum, but when you're asking for people with good English writing skills...

Anyway, are the games RTS, TBS, or both?

Ma kul je to. Ja sam planirao napravit na hrvatskom sli?an sajt,samo za strategije, hard kor Imam druge prioritete trenutno, ali bude i to.

Btw., ovo da su kratki nisam mislio u lošem smislu, kvantiteta obi?no nema nikakve veze s kvalitetom.

Is that English?

Ya know, any reviews you get from the fools on this site will look something like this:

Review of Sim City 4:

"Sim City 4 was an excellent game with stellar game play, beautiful graphics, and great new editions that fans of the previous Sim City's will enjoy and love. Yet, the lack of combat units really was a downer, and in comparison to Civilization III, it really sucked monkey bum. If I didn't get this game for free from Strategy Informer I really wouldn't of wasted my money or my time. Instead, I would of held on to my hard earned cash to buy the up and coming CIVIII Expansion Pack, due in the fall sometime, or I would of replaced my dog ridden Civilization: Alpha Centari. Sid Meier really needs to talk to those Maxis fools."



blah!

Btw., look at their about page. They have plenty of staff with RTS background. Someone from Apolyton would fill a TBS niche nicely.

Harry I have a feeling like you are talking like Im not here. Hello man!

I have choosen few. In past I also had this going somewhere. I found 2 reviewers. None of which are today with me and they wrote zero articles. So I always need potential candidates. If they are from the army and have some armament in their closet, it would help my decision.
