I have just published my first ever professional games review. I wasn't paid to write it, but I got send the game for free by THQs PR department. How cool is that!

Anyway, the review:

SavyGamer wrote:
I first booted up WALL·E to hear some pretty annoying music, so I skipped the cut scene. Then I got to the (surprisingly slick) menu system. Booted up a new game, and began my adventure. As soon as I took control of WALL·E, I moved the Analogue stick forwards. Then I got an Achievement for moving forwards. Instantly.

Off to a good start then.


Continues here.
Minor spoilers inside.

Top notch review, but may I make a mild suggestion (and this will sound more a criticism than a suggestion but it's not really meant that way!)? See if you can get someone to proof read it before you post, there are just -some- bits that lower the quality down somewhat.

Whilst my own English is terrible I'm a mini-grammar Hitler when reading something by other people:

Eg:

"before playing the licensed game would have an impact on you experience."

Clearly a typo but you meant "your" and not "you". It's one of those things that no matter how many times you check something over yourself, you won't spot it. It needs a fresh pair of eyes.

Other than that I enjoyed, and free games are awesome.

Awesome. I'll read it when I get a chance.
Did they ever send you Alone in the dark?

Yeah, although not me, a USA penny-arcader, though he is sending it on to me when he is done with it. He is writing the review now.
