We Want Your Reader Reviews

And we’ll publish them, too. And – even better – we’ll now be giving a cool Madman Entertainment prize pack to the best reviewers.

That’s right, we want you to share your views on the latest games with the rest of the Kotaku community.

It’s easy. Just write a review of a (fairly) recent game and send it to us.

OK, it’s not quite that easy. Your review must conform to the standard Kotaku review template, meaning it must contain:

* A brief introduction detailing what the game is about
* A description of the things you LOVED (using titled bullet points)
* A description of the things you HATED (using titled bullet points)
* A brief conclusion detailing your overall opinion

And you must do all this in under 300 words.

Check out the reader reviews we’ve published so far during October, September and August. Follow that format and you’ll be fine.

We’re looking for sharp writing, keen analysis and interesting views. Include your name and of course the name of the game you’re reviewing and email it to us with “Kotaku Reader Review” in the subject. We’ll be publishing the best ones as we receive them and we’ll be offering a prize incentive for the very best.

madman-logoA prize? Yes, a prize. Thanks to the very kind chaps at Madman Entertainment, purveyor of all kinds of cool, indie and esoteric film, the best reader review we publish each month will win a DVD pack containing ten of Madman’s latest releases.

  • Yo ‘Goose… quick question, how many reviews on average do you receive? Also, do you publish all of them, or just the good ones?

  • Fracture

    pacman is great because .. wokka wokka

  • Ben Latimore

    What, no reviews to publish, so you’re reminding people? :P

    Anyway, I just got Torchlight, so I might review that. I’ve got a good idea for a MW2 review as well.

  • Goose; if you get more than one review for the same game, I’m guessing you’d only publish ‘the best’ of those reviews?
