Some thoughts on this:

Possible criteria for games to be reviewed:

• Games with 1 or 2 reviews that have high ratings
• Low cost games, or games on sale (see the right column here https://www.switchscores.com/games/on-sale)
• Games where we can get some review codes - this is harder though, as publishers will probably want everyone to review the game - and a quick review might not be enough. But we could state that up front - quick reviews are better than nothing - and mid-price titles will get expensive if you buy a new game every week or two just to review (especially if you don't like it)

Listing/choosing the games:

• Post a list on Twitter and suggesting that people pick from there
• Post on the blog at Switch Scores
• Post older lists or longer lists in the Members section at Switch Scores - you don't have to register to write reviews, but being part of the site means you can see more of the backlog and it's easier to see what you have or haven't reviewed

Writing reviews:

• Reviews can be short - one or two paragraphs - or longer if there's more to say.
• Quick reviews can be posted on Switch Scores
• Linked reviews can be posted on someone's own site
• Video reviews (Youtube) also welcome
• Not Twitter reviews as they get a bit lost
• The reviews need to have a score or they can't be included in the site rankings
