Would you like to write for GamerDad? Sure, you all do. Why not? Lots of game developers, game journalists and VIPs actually read this site (I’m not kidding). This is just an idea mind you but I think it’s a good one. \u00a0I’m old. 39 next month and I’m finding it harder and harder to keep up on the newest games with the bipping and the bopping and the hippity-hopping. I don’t think I’m too old to be a gamer, but I’m getting too old to keep up like I used to and should. My kids aren’t old enough to pick up some slack. This is making me much less effective than I’d like to be. And that’s just lame. Cary Woodham does a GREAT job lightening some of the load with his enthusiasm but he’s only one extremely talented guy. Hey, I’ve got some eager adults and teens here right? They buy and rent games, right? Why not let you guys contribute your opinions? Sound good? Well, here’s how we’ll do this then–<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Send me an email with a review in it. Any length is fine, you do your own grammar and spelling checks. All I ask is that you be accurate. What I want is you to explain the game and then talk about the ESRB ratings and descriptors. Then assign an age as you see fit. Seriously, whatever age you think is right. \u00a0If I disagree, I’ll add a note or post a comment disagreeing with you but this is a chance for REAL parents and REAL teens to talk about REAL games and will help me IMMENSELY in keeping this site relevant and useful.<\/p>\n
Please note: No payment for you. I don’t care if you reprint your work anywhere, but you can’t include my additions. I will not fix grammar and spelling and I won’t post anything non-useful or terribly written. Try and be responsible, I won’t print a letter saying M-games are good for 3-year olds unless it’s to make fun of you. \u00a0PLEASE post your age, I don’t care if you use your real name. Don’t be offended if I never post your letter. Try and format it in email so I can do a quick copy and paste to get it up here. Any game is fine, old or new. Invite your friends to participate. This could be good for everyone.<\/p>\n
Simple.<\/p>\n
Interested?<\/p>\n
Send plain text emails to TheGamerDad at gmail dot com. <- get that code? SUBJECT LINE – Review. Send one screenshot if you can. Google images is a good place, avoid anything original or watermarked with some other idiot’s site. Looking forward to reading these, keep them coming. \u00a0Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
