(+) Yeah! (+)

No worries for the people that haven't played it yet, as usual for my site, there are no spoilers in the review.

I highly appreciate all input!

Phew, that's a lot of writing.

I guess you're going for a professional voice, but it kind of comes of as... I don't know, cold? Distant?
I don't read professional reviews usually because of that, preferring to stick to more "passionate" user reviews.

Besides a few grammatical errors, if that's what you're going for, good job.

Thanks, man, I'll note that. I certainly do not want to come off as cold or distant, as I enjoyed the game immensely. Perhaps one reason is that I'm always doing my best to avoid spoilers. There's also just a lot to be said about Peace Walker and its mechanics, so I guess a greater part of the review was just talking about how they work than in my previous two reviews.

I should rephrase what I said.

Cold and distant come off more negative than I what I meant.
The best way I can describe it was that it was an "unbiased" review.
Like, it's the review of an "objective person X", not the review of "Vlado," if that makes sense.

I see. I'm not aiming to be "unbiased," but I do try to cover most important aspects of the game I'm reviewing. Perhaps that influences the "unbiased" vibe?

...If you've got the time, could you also point out a grammatical error or two that you've spotted?

Too cool, man. Loved your first few reviews. Looking forward to scoping this one out when I have a few.

Keep up the ace work.

Can't you pull your own screenshots? They aren't fair use when they're watermarked, unfortuantely. Though it doesn't look like you sell ads, so that's fine. Work on that SEO, though!

EDIT: Good review though!

And then God created Saturn, and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Thanks, Jeff, I've replied!

And yeah, it's a bit of a lame deal with the pics, but the site is still not fully professional (and who knows if it will ever be). I usually try to put ones that are not watermarked, but for some stuff I wanna show, I just can't find any.

Ideally, I'd be taking my own screenshots, of course.

If you ever go fully professional, I can give you a lot of SEO tips!
