GGTL Review Policy - by Matthew Meadows

(Correct as of 20th June 2008)

These are promises we make to the readers and developers when reviewing a game. To the largest extent possible we will follow these policies:

1) We will complete every game we review

Never at any point in time will GGTL review a game without getting to a stage where the writer can confidently say they have finished a game. This could mean completing the one player game’s linear story with a reasonable, amount of side missions done. However, don’t expect the review team to have completed GTA IV 100% or to have finished every single mission available in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion; its simply not something we can do with every game.

If a reviewer becomes unable to complete the game due to incredible difficulty (one difficulty level only, too hard for the reviewer) or technical malfunctions (disc scratched) this will be stated at the start of the review.

2) We will under no circumstances show console bias

No console bias will be shown on the site. Whilst different members of the team have different console preferences, this will never affect a review score. Also, no articles about how one console is better than the other will be posted as we want to make this site a place where all gamers feel that they will get an unbiased gaming coverage.

3) We will never be affected by advertisement

When the site becomes a .com and advertising is put in place; we will never let any advertising get in the way of our opinions. Also, we will not be paid to write favourable reviews for games.

4) We will always try our hardest

GGTL was made because we love games. We promise that we will always try our best to inform you on what games to buy and what not to buy in the most entertaining and easy to read way possible.

If you ever feel GGTL neglects these policies please don’t hesitate to contact any of the team via email (contacts can be found around the site).
