Re: Favorite Reviews/Let's Plays

Honestly, I think the big game sites don't care as much about covering PC indie games - probably because there are soooooooooooo many of them. I had some contacts at some big sites, but I think we were kind of screwed by the fact that the embargo for Shadows of Mordor reviews as well as Smash Bros were around the same time as our release.
Hopefully sites will still consider reviewing the game, but I think the further away it gets from the release date, the less likely that is. It's also unfortunate that metacritic/gamerankings have weird criteria for what reviews they take. My personal favorite review is from TwoDashStash, but it seems like they aren't covered by Metacritic, when Slant Magazine is, and they wrote a quick review. Maybe I'm just bitter because Slant Magazine's scoreless review somehow works out to be a 7 on metacritic... :-/
Hopefully we can get some reviews to bring the average up. I am still hoping to get my 80 although it may be out of reach....
