:) 
nice usage of wordpress, people :)

btw, some screenies are very dark on the white background. and isn't it possible ot make them clickable into the larger ones? 
In Progress 
Yeah, we noticed that as well. I'm already editng all of the screenshots but that's a big project in itself. 
Make Em Larger 
the problem with offering larget shots is that most of those shots are over two years old and the larger file nolonger exist. I would have to take new shots of everything to do this and no. Not just no, but hell no.

I'll discuss it with the others and see if they want to start that up for all new reviews though. 
Also Starring 
- I would like to see the dates of the reviews.

- White background is a bad idea when trying to make out darker screenshots. Larger shots or a different background color would either fix this problem.

- Why do I keep thinking of 3D Gamer's Edge when reading The Powersphere Quest's review? If the two are not affiliated, I would like to point out that the unit is made for cooperative play exclusively. 
Shots 
The shots look like they had the levels auto-adjusted - rather contrasted and somewhat misrepresent the level texturing. 
Yay! 
Love the review, Marius! 
Vigil 
Most of these reviews are a couple of years old and I have no way of knowing when they were actually posted.

I am fully aware of the screenshot problem and I'm working on it!

You are right about the powersphere quest review. It is one of the older reviews so I added it to the quake2 multiplayer category as well as the single player. I left it in single player because the author does say what to do in the .txt file if you want to play it by yourself. I also added a comment at the bottom of the page stating all of this information. 
Powersphere Quest 
is very playable in solo singleplayer. Just have to vary playing style 
I Agree 
I think setting the skill to 0 for single player, as the .txt suggests, would dampen the gameplay.

As for the screenshots, new reviews I can start providing links to larger pics but for the old ones, I want to brighten them up but they don't look any better without adjusting the contrast and I agree that it takes away from the actual textures. I don't want to change the bgcolor either, so any suggestions.
