I've had a discussion with Gareth about the quality of his Game of Thrones review and he agrees it should have been better. I am generally happy with the quality of his reviews, and he assures me that this is an anomaly.
It is also a symptom of MyGaming being thin on reviewers at the time, and burdening Gareth with one title too many to review. Bear in mind that game reviewing in South Africa doesn't pay the bills and is usually done by enthusiasts in their spare time. That said, there are standards to maintain, and I am that gatekeeper. Community feedback is appreciated as it helps me gauge what readers think of the content.
I also take note of the light-hearted criticism of his LEGO LOTR review regarding the OCD joke. When editing I try to let a reviewer's personality and humour show through a little in their submission; readers may be surprised to see just how much I cut as well as leave in.
Going forward, Gareth has undertaken to improve the quality of his reviews. You will also be seeing some new reviewers entering the regular rotation as I try to bolster that aspect of MyGaming.
Thanks for caring everyone
