I think you should post this as a review on GS so you can go for reviewer of the month in May :)
I really enjoyed your review, it was very well-written and was very fluid. I didn't find any obvious grammatical mistakes or structuring issues, which is pleasant. The layout was good, and the pictures and captions appropriate.
My only real criticism is that I actually felt that you described a bit too much of the game. I've played for an hour or so, and it's not that you had real spoilers, but for some reason I felt I was watching a trailer where all the best parts were shown and the movie would no longer surprise me or have much more to offer.
One example I have is when you write, "The music hums with digitised tones and the UI resembles an old home computer, sporting a green background with white text. Hell, Ubisoft even included a montage sequence before the climactic finale in one of its numerous 8-bit cut-scenes." That's giving away most of the in-jokes of the beginning of the game. I really enjoyed listening to the computer voice and chuckling to myself. Half of the fun of the game so far has been having these minute details catch me off guard and making me think, "now, where did I hear that?"
It's very difficult to quantify, and it could just be me since I'm on a business trip right now and am extremely exhausted :)
Otherwise, this is a great review and I look forward to more!
Hello,
I'm hoping to get some feedback regarding the quality of my writing, specifically how well it flows and if it generally feels good to read. Of course any other feedback is appreciated.

I have yet to add my content on my Gamespot blog due to lack of time, but I'm hoping it's fine to link to my personal blog as that was OK when linking my submission for the Pokémon Chalk Talk.
If you need it posted on my Gamespot blog to critique it I will get that sorted ASAP.
Cheers,
