Well, I just got done playing the demo version of the game 'E'. Here's my review about it:

1. Your Machine Specs- I don't know what that means.
2. Your age & sex- I'm older then you. Or possibly younger. And ladies- I'm single.
3. General comments on the game- Pretty cool; interesting concept... can't wait for the whole thing to come out.
4. Concept- Being a fan of weird Sci-fi worlds, I like it.
5. Interface- I have Windows XP... and no clue what 'interface' means.
6. Gameplay- Simple, easy-to-learn controls.
7. Characters, icons and/or style- sweet graphics, highly detailed backgrounds and cool characters.
8. Audio- Not much audio aside from the occasional windows breaking and hammers a-hammering.
9. Visuals-striking, like face-fulla-brick striking.
10. Simplicity/Difficulty- I was a little stuck in the middle but I figured it out eventually.
11. Instructions- Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
12. Innovation- I will obey.
13. Addictiveness- I'm high on E- pun intended.
14. Level of fun- Yes.
15. Top Likes- Wait, since when is 'like' a noun? I guess my top 'like' would be the classic Yatzeeatic humor.
16. Dislikes- the text is way too huge and often goes off-screen, or otherwise covers the entire screen (during the parts where you have to choose something to say).
17. Bugs- when you hover the mouse over an object, the name is only half-there, like you can only see it's top half.


All in all, good game, Yatz.

Pop quiz, hotshot. Garry Kasparov is coming to kill you, and the only way to change his mind is for you to beat him at chess. What do you do, what do you do?

I don't like the whole storyline since its just too predictable. But apart from that its not bad.

That it is... that it is.
Long time no post.
Thanks fer quoting me in your sig, Dr. Lectar.

Anyway, a few comments for you.
I don't get what you are trying to say with your "review" and I suggest next time you use a scoring system.

And WTF IS UP WITH THAT PICTURE?

The "review" is not actually a "review" but a filling out of the "questionnaire" on the "Gridwerx" site.

And why should any review have a scoring system anyway? I think they unnecessarily narrow down a piece of work to a single number, when words can focus on what's good and what's bad and what excels and what doesn't.

I hand't seen the questionaire. But I think the scorings system works well and thats why all the game review magazines use some sort of one. Like:

Graphics - 5/10
Gameplay - 8/10
Story - 9/10
Difficulty - 2/10
Addictiveness - 6/10
Replay-ability - 5/10
Originality - 7/10
Creativity - 4/10

Overall: 5.75/10

Effectiviely, the higher the overall score, the better the game is. Problem with reviews is that they are usually someones personal opinion of a game. So it depends on their experience too.

That's exactly why gaming magazines employ people who have different tastes of genre. You don't give an adventure game to a simulator-maniac to test. Most of the time, they manage to come up with a more or less objective critique.
