Note: A Slight Slowdown

Right then, first of all I'd like to say that we have tried our best to keep this post from coming out for as long as possible but I'm afraid that we can't really postpone it much longer.

Hi my names Will-i-am and I’m writing a guest post about my blog.

New Feature Alert! Comments!

As some of you will have seen, we have another new feature! This comes as part of our ever going quest to improve the quantity and quality of the posts that we offer here at Games, Apps and Reviews. And, so, I hereby introduce...

New Feature Alert! Behind the Team

Some time ago (in the Gadget Show Live Recap, no less) I mentioned that there was going to be a new, more personal, feature coming along...

Author Update (Guest)

Hello and welcome to another Author Update with me, Harry! (Anybody get the reference? Watch our YouTube Channel to find out!). Another Author has entered our midst and it's... you! That's right, you can now send us your posts and reviews (as well as what you'd like to be called - but, please, no obscenities) and we'll publish them using our, new, Guest Blogger account (provided they're good enough, that is)! Please send all posts to gamesreviewsandotherstuff@gmail.com. This is the next step for Games, Apps and Reviews and I hope you can all be a part of it! Happy blogging!  

Goodbye for now, Harry

Rant Feature

Hello everyone, it's Harry here and I have come to tell you some exciting news! We have a new feature! *Roaring cheers and applause*. And even if you don't like it (and I don't know why you wouldn't) this is the perfect place to argue about it. Why? Because it is a new rant post feature.

In this feature we have decided to let our authors let their hair down and rage (or even, occasionally, politely argue) about games or gaming conventions that really annoy them. For this reason we have allowed (censored) swearing. If you don't like one of our author's opinions then it's your turn to bring out an argument against them, in the comments. However, please don't insult/threaten them and if you do, then your comment will be deleted.

We hope that these posts may become a fortnightly occurrence but, at least, for the first few, this may not be possible especially if we want the quality of topics to keep at a certain standard. For this reason we are also accepting topics and posts from you, our readers! Please email them at gamesreviewsandotherstuff@gmail.com along with the name you want to be addressed by (again, no obscenities please).

The first post will be posted this Saturday and will involve Euan arguing about a rather Elder (or not so Elder) topic, so be sure to check back then.

Goodbye for now, Harry

Author Update (Again)

Right, so some good news this time! As some of you may have noticed, Martin has returned to us! Most of his old posts will be reposted systematically over the next few weeks as well as some new posts that he has been writing/has written in the time he has been away. However, the rating's of the old reviews have gone back on the rating page already, with the new ones being added when the post it published. Please give him a warm welcome back!

Also, we have a new writer! Olimg (of Space Engineers review fame) has joined us and is currently writing posts on all manner of sci-fi shooters such as Brink and the Mass Effect series. Please welcome him as well and I'm sure that you'll enjoy reading the posts that he puts up in the future!

Well that's it for this author update so I'll leave you to get back to (hopefully) enjoying reading and commenting on the blog.

Update:
More good news! Euan has now returned to us as well and is bringing all of his posts back (as well as some new ones!). As well as this, he may start work on a new section which is arguably (*hint*) going to be very interesting. Please welcome him back!

Also, we have another new writer! Thomas Stacey has joined us and in currently writing many, many Minecraft Mod reviews. Please welcome him as well and I'm sure (yet again) that you will enjoy reading his posts in the future!


Goodbye for now, Harry

Note - Clean Up

After the increase in the amount of views we've been getting daily (20/30 to 50/70) and the amount of posts we've put up (over 200 now) we decided to give the blog a good clean up to prepare it for all the new viewers we've been getting. This included:
