Done with Action-Also-Try-List.

Most recent name (old names in the company's profile). It's a must since the script doesn't allow us to allot multiple names to a company. But it was never followed really, so: radical name changes which last a noteworthy time and which are not followed by a backnaming count as own company.

Is it possible to volunteer to re-review a game if the one who wrote the original stub review is no longer here? I ask because I've played Desert Strike quite a bit, and Kosta reviewed it (and gave it only four screen shots). If it's doable, I'd like to offer re-reviewing it and giving it new (and more) screenshots.

Also, I could do...

i dunno guys, erasing reviews and replacing them with new ones, even though they are not so long, is like replacing a piece of history

Those reviews were just stubs though - they were written in half an hour just so there would be a short description along with the game update - from what I heard they were supposed to get replaced by proper reviews. I think we owe proper reviews to the visitors over keeping an article that is a few years old but lacking in quality & content.

_r.u.s.s.- If I had written a single paragraph about a game, I wouldn't be shocked or hurt by its being replaced by a longer, more in-depth review. I think those games need a review that feels less like a place holder, and more like informative insight on what the game's about (no offense intended to Kosta whatsoever). I know those stub reviews have been there for a good while, but if red_avatar is right, then they need replacing.



Again, if it's going to be done, I volunteer to re-review the three games I listed in my previous post. I've played all three quite a bit, and I think I could do a decent write up (see my The Immortal and Powerslave reviews on this site for reference if needed).

You're always free to archive the original reviews

Yes it's possible.
Those reviews are the first that Kosta made when this place started to run.
They lack of many important info, it would be nice to see detailed reviews and tech tips to run those games.


Perhaps this is a bit off topic, but you'll agree with me that there's something wrong with this game
