I like the feature a lot, I think it's interesting, but I have one quick question.  It seems to give a slight preference to people of rank (Prog reviewers, collabs, etc), and I'm wondering if that is true or just me being silly.  I'm not against that idea, in fact in think it makes it slightly more useful, but I'm just curious.

Edit: I realize that maybe it's just that PR's and Collabs write long enough reviews, but I'd still like to know.


the point is that they write more, or at least should (I plead guilty for not doing enough of that), so of course the probability of a collab review popping up is higher


yes.. and I have had non-collab reviews come up ... have played around with that feature... mainly out of pure boredom to see how long it was before a review of mine came up LOL

now reviewing reviews....  sounds interesting.... if feedback is to be included in the reviews...  that is the point isn't it.. .to improve reivews.. not merely see your reviews get trashed if you are not exactly the best of reviewers.  I wouldn't allow 'ratings only' reviews of reviews... doesn't serve any purpose but to give people another excuse to f**k with people and for feelings to get hurt.  If someone is 'qualifited' to rate a review that someone invested time and effort into.. they damn well better explain why they rated as they did.  I spend, even if it doesn't look like it... hours on a review... the first kid that trashes a review of mine for the hell of it is going to have answer some tough questions.LOL

^ Agreed, I see a big risk in first spending a lot of time and thought writing the review, only to get it bashed by people who disagrees with the rating/conclusion and not what's wrong in an "objective" sense.

While I don't object to people assessing my work, I DO, and very strongly, to people who bash it for the hell of it. Therefore, expect some fireworks if I see someone giving a review that took me hours to write (and some do take that long) a one-star rating without any explanation. In my opinion, feedback is absolutely necessary in order to improve the quality of one's reviewing - and said feedback should be as constructive as possible.

Just noticed the feature, pretty cool another tool for discovery.  Checking in on the latest reviews has always been too.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
