Doh, when I was creating headers for this, I was under the impression that Jim was reviewing the Wii version of Staff of Kings.

WHOOPS

I think some of the reviews do miss things. I don't disagree with a particular review, but I do feel like some miss important parts.

The idea behind these aren't supposed to be the most in depth, detailed reviews. But rather a more top level approach.

Think of it like a review you'd read in a magazine that's half a page column.

Mike whoops! Actually, the Wii has co-op. The PSP version doesn't. Mrxknown this is my first Beyond Co-Op review...you really can't get too detailed when you're limited to a half page and scoring based on a three-score scale.

Yeah, if you want more in-depth reviews of Prototype and Bionic Commando, follow the link below the score to Colony of Gamers. Those are my elongated reviews, the Beyond Co-Op ones are supposed to be short.

Oh yeah, I didn't write the inFAMOUS piece here, but my full Colony of Games review for the game is here http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums ... php?t=9006

I think that's what i meant, can we vote on whether to lengthen the article with a choice of the writer to a minimum of half a page or more than half a page.

But the reviews are still good and do touch on the stuff people want to know. And I know this is all volunteer work, so I'm not demanding anything more.

No.

That's fine, the dictator...uhh kind leader has spoken

Some advice from a rehabilitating internet troll: that's not a path you want to start on, joking or not.

Mrxknown_JG at 12:34 PM on 6.28.2009

Nick knows I love him and this site. But I'll refrain from anything like that in the future.

txshurricane at 05:46 PM on 6.28.2009

I'm not speaking for Nick - it's obvious he's going to say what he needs to. I'm just giving you advice from someone who's been in those shoes.

I never talk when I play online on COD. No one really says anything worth listening to, or no one talks whatsoever.

Part of me wants to crop the second picture you took, and add text. Something simple, like "Oh geez. . ." It's got the perfect f

BORDERLANDS! Hopefully finish my first playthrough! I'm on "The Final Piece" but I'll probably do side quests as well.

RE:Co-Op Classics: Donkey Kong.. 11/21 12:45 am

Did they make a remake on Gameboy Advance or something? I remember the name.
