DP Game Reviews UPDATE

[digitalpress]

Matt Paprocki shadows these forums from time to time under the handle "gamereviewgod". Matt has been writing game reviews for Digital Press for quite some time now but while incapacitated for the past two weeks he's just gone completely nuts.

In 9 days, I received 74 game reviews from him.

They're not all current games, and many were lifted from the pages of his late 90's fanzine, but they've been "remixed" and put into DP format and I'm proud to say I've finally got them ALL online.

I'll be adding some "window dressing" to many of these over the next day or two but they're complete content-wise, you can find them all right here:

NOTE: we've now got over 500 game reviews there so the inded may take some time to load. I'm working now on an alternative to selecting games that won't force the whole menu on you up front.

UPDATE: added a bunch of Greg Wilcox ("Did YOU Know?") reviews as well. Greg is great at reporting the "sleepers" so don't miss his reviews on N64 Body Harvest, PlayStation Omega Boost and Rising Zan, PS2 Sub Rebellion, and more!

That sure is a sweet update.
Paprocki is a critical guy though... low scorse. Not that I mind though.

1 problem, when I click silent hill, I get body harvest.

[Gamereviewgod]

Took you long enough Joe! Thanks and never fear, more are on the way!

Critical comes from critic.....works for me! I don't believe in giving perfect scores (I don't think I'ever ever given one actually), and can rip just about any game known to man.....It's what I do. Thanks!

[digitalpress]

Oops I'll fix that Silent Hill thing. Thanks for pointing it out!

[geelw]

and to think i initially thought "gamereviewgod" was a pompous-sounding handle. one baked crow with ginger & garlic stuffing on a baguette for me!...

oh yeah, happy 12,000th post, DP!

[digitalpress]

I wouldn't get too down there, Greg, you're at least a "gamereviewminordeity" yourself!

74 reviews?????, congratulations and...you´re crazy :P

[digitalpress]

Though I've been a little slow getting them all uploaded, there are roughly two dozen new reviews uploaded this weekend, including some classics on the Dreamcast and some of the more recent Xbox titles like Red Dead Revolver and Chronicles of Riddick.

Just thought I'd give you a heads' up as this was a significant update.

Enjoy!

When are you going to update the format on some of the reviews to macth the red and black theme of Digitalpress. I might still have the lists fo the ones that need to be fixed if you need them.

I have the lists you sent me - it's on my endless list of things to do! Thanks again for sending those along, as I've said many times here: nothing ever goes to waste or gets forgotten.

OK just checking. Let me know if there is anytinhg else I can help with.

Hiatus officially over. Major site maintenance completed today...

After the "Atari 2600 Barrage" last month and the recent update of Mr. Paprocki's game reviews, the DP site now boasts OVER ONE THOUSAND game reviews!

There are at least a hundred more from past DP paper issues that I have to get to. In the meantime, if you haven't checked out the retro reviews here on the site, give it a look!

I'm damned impressed. When are you going to put out a book?

Seriously. Check into that with some publishers and see if anyone bites.

[Gamereviewgod]

That's a damn good idea Dan. That would be something I'd be more than willing to take on with some help.

Having read some of your blog's reviews a while back, I don't understand how you're not working for a major publication (or at the very least a local free weekly). I mean, you're a great game AND movie reviewer in one.

[Gamereviewgod]

So what kind of pay and benefits are you offering Doc? I can have a resume in the mail tomorrow.

Seriosuly, thanks. I appreciate it. I've applied to numerous pubs, sites, and papers, but have yet to get a response to anything other than Sci-Fi weekly who told me they would come in contact if they wanted anything. Go figure. Oh well, maybe someday.

Now, looking at the figures, we've had 500 new reviews in a little over a year and half. That's probably more than most major gaming sites put out in that same period and we've got reviews of real obscure stuff (Dire51 really digs some odd stuff up).

[Half Japanese]

Yeah, I need to crank a few more out myself. I think I have two or three up. Sly Cooper (ps2) and Ikaruga (GCN) for sure.

Please do send them along! As Mr. Paprocki can attest, every good review finds its home within our review pages. The older the better, though - it's pretty hard to find other sites with reviews on Atari 2600, 3DO, and SNES games these days!

...And I'm guilty of being behind in the batch of reviews I told Joe I'd write... (looking at my hand-written notes, wondering if I oughta maybe write it just now)
