About this Member

Why Dooyoo is good for the world: my local paper's videogames reviewer knows nothing about games, writes like a six-year-old and gives high scores to everything he reviews because the shop who supply the games tell him to. For too long consumers have been forced to beleive what often subjective reviewers tell them in the media. Now we have a consumer resource that gives us access to a cross-section of many people's objective opinions. Make sure your contribution is valuable.

I am currently in the process of updating all my old opinions but am wondering now whether I should bother seeing as no one seems to read them after I've spend hours painstakingly restoring them to their original glory. On a totally seperate matter, please take a look at some of my older works further down my opography (you know, that list at the bottom of the page) but stop when the very usefuls dry up because everything is crap after that.

The picture above isn't of me surprisingly enough, it's my friend Lance. Treat him with the respect he deserves.
