Tips -
- When writing your review, make sure you review for any spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. Make any adjustments you need to make your review look professional and clean.
- Please have your final rating match your review. For example, do not give a game an excellent on everything and then rate the game a 5.0. That wouldn't make sense.
