This Big Albie guy, he's bad man, he made me buy all these games, all i did was is read his reviews But seriously, Big Albie is hands down the best reviewer, not only here on TA but also on the App Store, the reviews are great and it hows, his reviews are rated the most helpful on most of the games he has reviewed. The suggestion i have is, instead of his name being "AlbieOne", why not just change it to "TouchArcade" to promote the site? Or is this against Apple's TOS?
wrong forum bro, this would belong in the site feedback. this forum is for games that are official, and currently out. not for anything else.
Ooops, didn't know that. I have this forum bookmaked and always thought that this was a general discussion forum. How can i delete this or move it to the site feedback?
Y A mod will move it. At one time Arn was submitting front page reviews to the App Store, I haven't seen any lately, not sure why...
This is really a pointless, useless, purposeless thread. Big Albie is great, but you don't need to make a whole thread worshipping him =/
Before the mod moves this, let me add: you need help man... Well, it is okay to me to worship somebody but TA has published some of BigA's reviews on the site. Time to print them out and put in a frame...
So, for various reasons I never got around to making formal announcement about Albie's official role. Essentially, he's a first impressions / forum reviewer for the site, and we feature his reviews on the front site from time to time. We fund his game purchases and he does an excellent job at providing the forums with impressions and reviews of major new titles. That said, he's still his own agent and has his own voice. We sometimes disagree on opinions of games etc... but that's fine. I don't know if either he or we would be comfortable posting all his reviews under the toucharcade name on iTunes. I think there's a burden being the official opinion of the site and not something anyone's looking for right now. arn
I agree that thingsshould not change, but this thread brings up a good point. Big albie's impressions are very important to many of us, do you think you could start a section were we can find all of his impressions here on TA? That would be absolutely amazing.
I suggest an official First Impressions section on the frontpage or something like that. It'd be great to see all of Albie's first impressions instead of digging through the separate game forum threads. IDK... just a thought.
Perhaps a section dedicated to not just Albie's, but other reviews posted up (only the in depth and thorough though) in a 'Reviews' section. All the threads could be locked, so people can read and not spam. Then possibly a subforum for discussion of the reviews and a place for new reviewers to post and have a chance that their review will be moved up to the main reviews forum.
