    What exactly qualifies someone to be a game reviewer? Is it just the ability to write well and a love of games? Also, would the game be provided or would the reviewer need to buy them?

    Pretty much! Applicants have to have a good level of English and writing skills. We cover most of the expenses, however I'm not sure on the details - Again that is something you'd have to speak to Logan about, but i'm sure all will be explained if you're successful.

    Ok. Since there seems to be no age limit, is there a person limit? I mean like, both me and my friend in a group effort. We would just split the benefits. I would play the game and she would help do the review in a correct format and all. I'm wondering if I can do that.

    Im not sure - you'd have to ask logan.

    Wait doesn't the Game Reviewer say that you must work Independently?

    Available through the week.
    Work Independently.
    Organize, and format reviews with proper essay format.

    As a general note, I've received a little over a dozen emails the last two days and I'm slowly making my way through each one. Given the holiday weekend this week, I may not get back to most of you till next week.

    Cheers,
