[Prometheus]

This was inspired by Zucadragon's "Review forum? (Should there be one?)" thread, and the posts therein by skeezix and Rygiz which suggested using a thread to collect links to all user reviews instead (much like "The system specific game recommendation thread list" does for classic games).

I've gone through all of the current user reviews that I could find - if I'm missing any, please let me know, and provide a link, and then I'll add it to this post.

What about:

A recount of our time together thus far Review of my Pandora by Kieroshark

[Prometheus]

^ Thanks very much. It's been added.

[DaMummy]

this thread couldve been in all capitol letters. great work

[Jourdy288]

Pin. This.

[DaMummy]

there must be an echo in here

[Anihil8ion2199]

Yes, Gruso please pin this!

[shadow.8]

^ Thanks very much. It's been added.

And I agree, this should be pinned

[Gruso]

I agree that we should pin this thread (until such time as we get a review subforum, if we do) but there are so many pinned threads! A tidy up is in order, I think.

[Kieroshark]

Thanks Gruso, this seems like a useful thread.

And thanks, shadow.8.

[David Bowman]

Prometheus, great idea and thank you for including my review. I honestly think this thread will help stem off some of the criticism that the team has been taking continuously since 2008.

[Prometheus]

I can't take credit for the idea - as I noted in the parent-post, it was suggested by posts by Zucadragon, skeezix, and Rygiz.

I just hope that it will prove to be handy. I'm adding them as and when I see them, now, so hopefully I won't end up missing any. I will also contribute one myself soon, from my current perspective.

[David Bowman]

Well thank you to everyone then, and still thank you for the effort.

[- Theo -]

So mine is a bit old (1 month) and not as complete as some of the ones you're linked, but if you want more:

[Prometheus]

^ Absolutely! It's in now. Thanks!

[Barnaby]

Thanks for including my review! Good idea, I love reading people's reviews of the Pandora. Gonna read some of these at somepoint.

[DaMummy]

not to look like the bad guy, but there needs to be some negative reviews in there as well, otherwise it seems biased, wheres that wally guy? does he have a review?

I agree completely. You don't look like "the bad guy" - balance is absolutely vital. I can only post what I can find, though, so if you know of any that aren't listed, please do provide links to them.

[Anihil8ion2199]

I've read of a few problems or a different preference (design wise) but I honestly believe I've only read one less than stellar review and not on these forums. I can't recall an honestly negative review... Although if one exists it definitely should be included.

Edit: I do give a bad review though to the US Postal Service. 13 days, no Pandora, no trace of it's whereabouts.

thats the bad part, i cant for the life of me find one, many of them include a fault or two, but all in all, its a positive review, basically praising the damned thing
