*REVIEWS AND THE PIXEL ARCHIVE*
We review European games, unless otherwise stated. Import coverages are indicated on review banners, or with an asterisk next to the game's Review Archive listing.
We display a release date, publisher and developer to match the specific version of a game we're reviewing. If you're seeing our Mass Effect review and wondering why the release date is given as 2012 when the game launched in November 2007, it is because the review concerns the PlayStation 3 edition, released in December 2012. This is to be as accurate as possible, contextually, to the versions we're covering.
Second opinions: to avoid confusion, we don't encourage multiple "long-form" reviews of the same game. It would be confusing and unhelpful for the reader to find a 6/10, 8/10 and 4/10 for similar versions of the same game. However, second opinions offer an opportunity for an alternative take, and sometimes for an corresponding version - such as an Xbox second op to complement a GameCube review.
The "same" game may however be reviewed twice in the event of distinct alternative versions. We can't justify an entire, separate review of a game simply because it runs better/less well on one format than another. The NES version of Alien 3 is a different entity from the 16-bit releases, so would justify its own review. The same is true of Crash of the Titans: whilst Xbox 360, PS2 and PSP used broadly the same 3D platformer build (and thus would come under one review & second op), the Game Boy Advance version is an identifiably game (a 2D platformer) and would warrant a coverage of its own.
