I've heard about your awesome group and your main idea (have a couple of friends there), but too pity english isn't my native for creating large game reviews :-) I'll sharpen my language and certainly will write an application to you someday.

While I'm rather picky in my standards, be sure to chat with the other group members in chat, you might find they won't demand so much to give you the golden ticket required for entry.

I like the idea but I'm nor certain if I'd like to join... I think I wouldn't like the feeling of being obliged to play a new game every month... It's not much, I know, and probably I would do it anyway, but somehow the feeling of HAVING to do it might make me resent it :P
Though I would kinda enjoy forcing myself to write a review every once in a while. In contrast to doing creative writing for a story etc that seems like a nice idea. Maybe once I have a better handle on how I want to handle my free time, still not used to suddenly working almost 40h a week instead of being a lazy student :P

I'm glad that I am already a contributing member of the group because the random game name it gave me....
Brain-Damaged Transvestite For Kids
I wouldn't even know where to start.

Next one wasn't so bad...might actually be fun.
Go Go Surgery Vengeance
Inspector Gadget decides to perform surgery on Dr. Claw....

Could actually make that a surprisingly-heartwarming/breaking true-life story! -- callous name for it though, and the "For Kids" part is not entirely kosher, but I could see the man's story being "Disneyfied".

you've paid your ISP? :D
I'd like to beat my backlog, too - but if I write reviews I'd have even less time to play games :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Neat idea, but I'll never not have a backlog. It's not a lack of time on my end, just that I generally only play one game at a time, and sink a loooot of hours into each. I almost never play a game for less than 200 hours if I feel it has any amount of replayability.

Ohh dear, just thinking about my backlog makes me sad. Although I could use a reason to start writing reviews again, I have a backlog of those as well. D:
I am particurly proud of the World Basketball Manager review, obviously.

This sounds right up my alley! I'd be more than happy to write up something on the games I get around to finishing. I have a couple of Steam reviews, and I've done over 70 short ones on SteamCritic recently.

Really wish SteamCritic let you link to a page that shows all your reviews.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I was looking for a page like that when I was making that post. Its pretty silly that you cant browse all by one person.

I can't guarantee to play a different game every month since I have to fit my game time in around my son's naptime. For giggles tho I clicked the random game name generator to see what would come up and got a good laugh.
"Disney's Acid Invasion"

I really need to clear my backlog, it is very bad. Easily 400 games, blame bundles! :) I have my own games news and reviews website so I am more than familiar with writing reviews. I guess I need some persuasion to play a game that I am not having to review and then write a review for it. I don't think we are allowed to post links to websites here, but check my profile and you can see a couple of reviews I posted on steam, and my website for the others.

Sounds like a retro style game. Should be a good read.

Not sure why I'm even trying since my reviews are far from professional compared to yours but.... Here is the link to my steam review page
Comment has been collapsed.
I just have high standards for my own reviews, but if you can impress the lazy sods who also can invite you, then it won't matter so much. But if you can prove yourself to me with reviews, then you are obviously a high tier user. :P

Same here. Probably just a community error at the time.

Just took this screenshot right now...
Might be just me though :/

Hey there, I am interested in joining the group. My Steam review page. Got an insane backlog and this seems like a good chance to work through it. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Lately I only write short reviews as limited by Backloggery. Last time I tried to write something bigger, it gave me a headache.

I'll give this a shot.

Interested in joining because I have a habit to buy and never play.
Comment has been collapsed.
Based on those, can't really say I'd invite you. Most are only a line or two.
Comment has been collapsed.
Does it have to be very good reviews? Not sure if i am a good reviewer :p
Comment has been collapsed.
What I expect from a review is at least some detail on the gameplay, replay and graphics / sound. A couple of hundred words covering that can be helpful to people.

I randomed Donkey Kong's Porn for Kids. It's a masterpiece.
Edit: In hindsight, it should have been an "educational" game. For kids. Too late now, that's a lot of work.

Backlog Attack group page
Backlog Attack group chat (Opens group chat window in Steam, short linking site used so it can be a clickable link)
This group is currently looking to fill 15 slots with new members. If you don't already know about us from the previous topic a few months ago, I'll let you know the purpose of our group. Members will try to beat our massive backlog of games, for whatever system they might be on, and to write up some reviews for them, at least one a month. If you don't think you could keep up with that requirement, our group may not be the best choice for you.
Even though the focus is on beating your backlog and doing just a few reviews, we also have an active chat (that needs some more regulars) and giveaways from several members.
As the reviews are an important focus of the group, if you wish to join and already have some work, post the link to your Steam Reviews page or a page on another site you upload review to, like GameFAQs or GreenMan Gaming.
Don't have reviews? Well, there is always another option to show you can do it, the random review challenge from the previous topic. Any hopeful members get to write a review for a random game. But not any regular game, but for one that doesn't exist. We will be using The Video Game Name Generator. Pop open that page and click Generate. There you have the title, and you will be attempting to do a suitable mock review for that game. Even if you are unlucky enough to get 'Transvestite Hamster Crisis', as one chat member managed to get. Sorry guys, he refused to review it himself. :P
When you are done, I recommend uploading the text to PasteBin and then linking your review here for group members to view. The better the review, the more likely you will get an invite. All invites will happen in several days, possibly a week or two, so we can trim out the current members first and make more room for fresh blood.
As an example, here is my review for Helicopter Dodgeball Deathmatch. You can also find others in the link to the previous topic above.
Don't even think of taking the reviews from elsewhere and passing them off as your own work. It is a sure fire way to get booted from the group / blacklisted from joining.
Even if you don't have an invite, feel free to come hang in the group chat and keep us company. We are always looking for people to keep us company while we procrastinate from playing our games.
