James reviews shitty old school games and Chris reviews shitty old school games and also newer games.

what is the point in retro gaming rating that would be the worst way ever to spend your time

[Trip1295]

Why rate, if you're one of the only few that still play?

Perfect Dark. Best old school FPS ever.

All copyright infringements aside, advice wise, get a better quality camera/audio system, and try to edit your videos so it's not just you talking to the camera all the time.

I just watched the Odyssey 2 review and I figured I'd give you some legitimate advice

- Sorry to be blunt, but you're not a very good speaker. You're mumbling a little and your speech is constantly peppered with "ums" and awkward pauses. It's clear that you're just getting it all in one shot and you just don't have the personality to do that. Here's my advice, write a script, do multiple takes of your shots, and learn to edit your video. It's extra work, but if you want to stand out in a crowded field of game reviewers you have to do it.

- Shoot some b-roll and edit it in. It's boring to look at a talking head for seven minutes. Cut to shots of games playing and views of the system so you're not reaching off screen and fumbling around for the hardware to hold up to the camera.

- Do more research. You sound like you're just talking about the system based on a few hours of playing around with it. Just relaying the most basic facts isn't all that interesting. What is the history of the system? What was its lifespan like? What are the technical specs compared to other systems that were out around the same time? Why was it a success or a failure?

- What's behind you is more important than you might think. You've got a boring white wall a shelf that skews into the shot at a weird angle and a poster that juts halfway in. Look at the AVGN's room where he does most of his filming. He's got the classic wood paneling on the walls that's reminiscent of the classic family room style that most kids growing up in the NES era, there are posters covering the wall, and large cabinet filled with NES games. I'm not saying go that far, but it's important to have something relevant back there. Besides being nicer to look at it builds familiarity with the viewer.

- Get some kind of gimmick. Something to make you unique from the dozens of other people who review games and systems. Why should they watch you over any one else. You need to give them a reason or they won't. They might stumble upon one of your videos, but if you can't grab them they won't come back.
