People,

This forum wasn't created for a little Firstlook Writer Flamefest. It was, however, created for you to share constructive criticism and/or discuss the game in a mature and non-offensive matter.

Trying to argue about a subjective matter is USELESS. An FL is an OPINION, not a FACT. Remember, most people DO NOT THINK LIKE YOU.

Stop insulting the reviewers because you disagree, and don't turn these threads into pointless flamewars. If you have some constructive suggestions concerning style, writing, description, mistakes, etc. for a particular review, by all means, say it.

If you disagree with a passionate hate, write your own.

If we continue to see this, we will just remove the forum.

In addition to the guidelines posted by Lovefish for the FirstLook Feedback section, I feel inclined to post an addendum.  

iSONEWS offers the FirstLook section as a service to our readers for usually quick/sometimes in-depth, occasionally humorous/often to-the-point/and always free reviews of games.  The members of the iSONEWS community who submit reviews and conform to posting guidelines receive nothing in return save the rare compliment in these feedback forums.  

Because I enjoy the FirstLook section, and because I appreciate the FirstLook reviewers, I will no longer tolerate posts in this forum section that only exist to chastise reviews and/or reviewers.  If you disagree with a review or have constructive criticism, please feel free to state your opinion.  But, if you post only to troll this forum and heckle a reviewer, be forewarned that such activity will lead to a site ban.
