Past Featured Review(s):

Safe House (Movie)
Got another pushed out. This time it is for Safe House (Movie). Check it out here. Let me know what I did wrong this time!

Chronicle (Movie)
Getting back into the swing of reviewing hopefully, and starting off with a review of the recently released on DVD/Blu-ray Chronicle. Check it out and let me know what you think!

inFamous (PS3)
I had recently rented inFamous and was able to crank out a review after sitting on the sidelines for so long. Hopefully I can put out reviews a bit more frequently in the near future. :)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS3)
My Star Wars: The Force Unleashed review is ready for comments and criticism. Here it is! And in published Neo article form!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Hola amigos, my Super Smash Bros. Brawl review was accepted just today. It is my first review over 40k characters, so though it might take a little longer to read, feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (Wii)
Hey all, I just had my review for Medal of Honor Heroes 2 accepted. It is my first review over 25000 characters long (including spaces), and I'm just wondering if I could get some feedback on it. I already saw something that I left out, that I'll add soon, but I'm just wondering if anybody has any suggestions/comments/praise for it?

Just a small update: the review has now been turned into a Neoseeker article. It can be viewed here.

Hola amigos, my Super Smash Bros. Brawl review was accepted just today. It is my first review over 40k characters, so though it might take a little longer to read, feedback would be greatly appreciated!

There is a lot of videos in that review, and generally I find that if they aren't short or entirely necessary I'd skip over them and keep on going. I know some people enjoy video's, so that's a personal preference of mine. I really like your writing skills, but if you right long it's best to leave a summary -- not everyone is going to read the entire review, eh? You've got a nice one at the bottom, so good job on consolidating the review into a bite sized piece!

Great work!!

Actually, I realized I missed a few minor additions to the battling, such as the random stumbling, the omitting of wave dashing, and now you can air dodge, and still do a move before hitting the ground. But I'll be sure to add that before my review goes to the next step *winkwink*.

Yeah, I was afraid of that too, Mishtram. I think I'm going to give a better summary of everything in this thread most likely, I'm not sure yet, but I'll be sure to do it. Because I'm worried that the length will turn people away, I think I'm going to try to shorten my future reviews, and see if I can condense everything into 30,000 characters or less.

After a long reviewing drought, in which I was basically reconstructing how I review games beginning from the basics. That is why I have those three reviews under the "Reviews to Come" section listed as canceled, because I used those games to write up reviews to try to help me improve, so they are basically simple reviews. Unfortunately I'd rather not submit them, as I don't think they are good enough to be listed as an Official Chad Review.

Anyway, my Star Wars: The Force Unleashed review is ready for comments and criticism. Here it is! Don't worry, it is only about 18k characters, so it shouldn't take you too long.

Heh, I just google image searched for those screens. I was basically looking for ones without watermarks, and would fit in somewhere in the review, or that I just thought I could get a good caption out of.

Haha, yeah. I was hoping to be one of those people who go their whole life without watching any of the movies, but they came on Spike for like three weeks straight so I thought I might as well watch them, and I'm glad I did. This was actually my second Star Wars game though. I have Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi for GBC also, which I've had for a couple of years now. I didn't even know I had it though, because it was hidden in the box of another GBC game that I rarely played.

Lol, if you look at the "Recent User Reviews" panel to the right of the main forum, there are recent reviews for The Force Unleashed for the Xbox360 and two for the Wii also.

You have a pretty interesting opener to your review. It works nicely as a great hook to entice potential readers to continue on. I can't think of anything you didn't cover. Even though it's a long review it was great to read through all the same, and great use of media. A shame that you had to reduce the size of the images from what you originally had, but what about using thumbnail links so that clicking the small images you have now will take the reader to the larger versions?

Awesome to see a new review from you Chad.

Lol, I forgot to change the score, haha. It's fixed now.

Yeah, on the opener, I wasn't sure about it. After typing it out, something just felt strange about it to me. Good to see that someone liked it though.
