Anyone want to review Stay?

Discussion in 'General Game Discussion and Questions' started by Anthropophagy, Aug 13, 2009.

  1. Hey Everyone,

    I was just curious if someone in the community wanted to review Stay for the user review section in here. PM me if you're interested and I'll hook somebody up with a promo.

    Bear in mind though, I'm a pennyless indie one man show.

    Dare I say that he only reviews games that he finds good. So if he doesn't like it he won't review it

    I agree. That would probably get your game noticed.

    Nah, that's TA (arn, Hodapp, blakespot). Aside from your statement being very discouraging, it's also false ;) Big Albie has been known to review some duds.

    From the video, this definitely looks somewhat amusing, although I wonder if there is enough to it. Hard to tell with the games aiming for simple but addictive.

    Anyway, I'd be willing to try it and post a review . . . but yeah, Big Albie's get the most respect if your short on codes.

    He would probably review this game, it has cool graphics and looks fun.

    Yea but recently he hasn't, most of the duds he just put his input not in a formal review. If you ask though he might review it though it will be a while because he already has a pile. But yea its worth a try

    Nice to see we're all recommending reviewers rather than trying to snatch a free game :) Probably won't be long before the lurkers sign up claiming to be professionals in the business.

    Oh wow I was looking forward to this and didn't realize it was out. I'm wondering if that was because I didn't mentally link the word "Stay" with the game?

    Picking this up now!

    No offence meant to the reviewers I didn't mention :D Pretty much all the reviews on this site are good, Albie just springs to mind due to the sheer amount of them he churns out.

    I read your stuff all the time DG, and I think others should be too.

    I bought the game so don't worry about the promo code. I'll take a look at it later tonight.

    It's partially true that I've only reviewed games that I like lately frankly because if I spend the same amount of time reviewing bad ones, then obviously the good ones can fall by the wayside. It's a balancing act, but of course if it's a highly touted game that ends up blowing (e.g. Mass Effect), then yes I review it so people know what they're in for.

    Would that be after you reviewed Amy and her tan issue?? :D:D

    Seriously, a BA review will maybe do more for an app in the forum than a feature on TA main page. But not everyone digs deep into the forums...

    And there are a few more TA reviewers who do a more than decent job. Much better than I ever could. Devs should spend a bit of time to spot the big guns here, and directly give the promocodes to them (a good competition is always welcome and usefull of course to generate interest) rather than wasting time on lurkers or people whose opinion won't have as much impact. I'm thinking of adding a list of worthy and reputable TA reviewers to my sig.

    OK, back to the swimming pool...;)
