I'm starting to review games, and I want to know if I did a good job.

Hi guys! Tis' Nerzhul here. Out of boredom, I decided to get myself fraps and start making my own youtube videos. So... what did I decide to do? I decide to review the [free] FPSes people talk about and people should talk about. I know most of them are crap, but a few stand out, like Huxley, for example.

My first review was of a Counterstrike clone. Now I know what you're thinking... Counterstrike clones are crap. And you're right! But the one I've found stands out from the pack, particularly because the english is better, and the gameplay really does resemble Counterstrike (1.6/Condition Zero, not Source), albeit with slightly worse graphics. The weapons (and their sound effects), the models, the crosshair, the nade' physics... all of them resemble Counterstrike in some way. Anyways... I want to know if I did a good job and so I'm going to share my video with you here, if I can get the "youtube" tag working... And I can't. Here's a link to the video.

By the way, if you want me to review a free shooter you know about, let me know in this thread.

Edit: Oh, and I did the entire review without using a script.

Try using a script.
You used "Umm" far too much, and there are moments that you pause for quite a while.

Proof read your written review out loud. Then make your fraps review, and proof listen (is that a real phrase?) your work. Then release for comments.

Also, you plan on making more than one, so get a list of things to go over for each one.

That's the um... byproduct of not using a script.

I guess I will do my future ones using a script, since I make a gameplay video and record my voice seperately. Thanks for the tip.

Use script (said before and now it's said again). Would definitely make your reviews sound more professional and less awkward.

Ok, so on this day I shall invent a new meaning for "Americans".
"Flaming Americans that play online video games."

Most of my reviews use a script, you know. Doesn't really matter right now, however, as I refuse to do another review until Huxley: the Dystopia comes out. Oh, and incase you ask me "why?", allow me to answer you now: I've made 40+ reviews. That's why.
