My first non-steam review got published. It's certainly no Shakespeare, but I am proud nonetheless. ;)
Feel free to check it out and tell me what you think about it (contructive criticism is always welcome):

For now I only skimmed the review and I'll read it fully when I get home today, but it looks quite decent :) The thing I'd change on the site itself are quotations around titles of every section of your review. Combined with frame effect that the lighter background behind the text itself gives, the first impression a reader has is that you're quoting huge chunks of other people's reviews. Only after a moment it becomes clear that that's not the case.
I'd also think about your rating scale. 1-5 may be quite inaccurate if you want to review many games in the future. At some point you may notice that you gave two games of different quality the same numerical rating. Personally I think that 1-10 scale is much more accurate. 1-100 on personal reviews is a bit of an overkill. A nice feature I saw in some gaming magazines is giving the game numerical ratings in a few categories (like graphics, sounds, gameplay and story) and then giving the game an overall rating. This way you can stay with lower-numbers rating and at the same time differentiate between eg. awesome-gameplay game that is 4/5 and awesome-story-driven game with a bit clunkier mechanics that got 4/5 points.
@edit
And I forgot to thank you for the giveaway ;D

Very nice review, you should be proud :)
I like the style/idea of the site too, interesting theme and really helps to get all the useful info out there in a creative way without feeling like an info dump.
Hope you keep doing these :D

Thanks for the DLC!
The review is very well done! Its nice to read and (most importantly) paints a good picture of the game. The only critic might be your tendency to form long sentences. I tend to do this myself and it really doesn´t bother me personally while reading it, but I know that this is something to avoid if possible.
Keep it up :)
