Just a heads up, Writing a review on Aquaria...
« on: December 15, 2007, 10:43:32 am »
This should be done and published online in a few days at the most, i don't usually review indie games because i'm rarely impressed by them. However this game needed reviewing!

For all those who want to read it when it's uploaded it will be at www.geforce3d.net where i work as a hardware/software reviewer.

Aquaria will also be the first game to use my stricter score system, so watch out :p.

Now if only a soundtrack was made for this game. :(

I also have a 5 page review currently 95% completed pending my last stint with the game.  I was also troubled to see that Aquaria isn't listed on Metacritic.  I have virtually no faith left in games journalism these days, barring sites that follow the indy scene, and my own site (www.overwritten.net) seems to have hit a permanent work lagspike that will last from now until doomsday, but I couldn't help myself.  The game deserves more attention than it's going to get, and I wanted to at least do what I could despite not having a real portal to post it on (this makes me sad... anybody want to pay me for some freelance work?).

Let's hope we can get the game even more exposure.

Review is coming along slightly slower than expected but it shall be finished today. Aquaria is also my first review to include video recordings of the game it self for a greater feel of the game (for those too lazy to download demos).

the above link will take you to the first page of the review only. Usually i don't do teasers for reviews, but i needed feedback for adding videos to reviews which i got, but i felt i may as well post the link here.
