inthemindofagamergirl asked: I agree completely with you about writing notes why playing games. When I'm playing a game I'm almost constantly talking to my husband about what's going on, what I notice, what I'm seeing go wrong/right, etc. It also isn't that hard to pause the game after a fight or during general "down time" and type out a few notes on Notepad. I've never found it to take away from my gaming experience, and in fact I've seen nothing but good results when writing my reviews.

Now I don't claim to be some fancy game reviewer, I'm just a girl trying to get started in that direction, but shouldn't you try to do everything you can to make a good review? I would never just rely on what I remember, and find that to be a pretty bad quality. Too much room for error and forgetting things, not because they are forgettable, but because you can get too excited and only focus on what you're currently writing. Notes help keep that in check, and can seriously help reviews.

All good points.

Also, not really relevant to anything (OH I;M BECOMING WHAT I HATE) but the first line of your second paragraph put me in mind of that Hyperchicken lawyer from Futurama.
