So if a reviewer spends more than 6 hours on the game it's probably not worthwhile. I seriously doubt a good review can be written with only 6 hours of playtime. Anyways, it's kind of nice, but I suspect it's going to get dry very soon when they keep sending you games that you absolutely abhor. Don't forget that you can't exactly sell the games for retail price even if you get them before release. The most you will get is 3/4 of the retail price, for PSP games this will even drop down to 1/3 and you actually have to invest time into selling the stuff. Also, if you don't sell, you not only have done a few hours of work, but you haven't got any money out of it. You only have a luxury asset that is dropping in value 10x faster than a car. Did i mention that all download and most PC games come with review licences hat have to be activated on the internet and cannot be re-sold. My advice would be that you treat it like a part time job 15-20 hours a week (2-3 reviews a week) and if you don't have a payed position, even at minimum wage after 6 to 8 months, you should get out of there asap. Reviewing games is fine and all, but if you can't make a living out of it, it's just unpaid work. And it IS work ... believe me. /edit: I did the same for a little longer than i should have, but ultimately gave way for a more lucrative job which turned out to be almost as entertaining | ||
