(General overview + Opening Remarks go here)

The Five Best Things about ______.

1. Thing #1 (not neccesarily the most important, but just the first thing that came to mind.)

2. Thing #2 (equally important to #1)

3. Thing #3 (equally important to #s 1 and 2)

4. N/A (will be used if there isn't anything else to say.)

5. N/A (again, if I ran out of things to say early - note that I will usually list all 5 things, even if they are quite insignificant to many people, and I will only say N/A if it's absolutely necessary and appropriate.)

The Most Significant Thing about ______.

So as you can see, my new format is much shorter, concise, and specific than my past reviews. I think this is necessary to improve my writing past the long, tedious, all-encompassing and tiring writing formats of past reviews. I certainly tired myself out when writing the past reviews. Moreover, I felt my long, essay style reviews limited what I was able to review. Back then, I actually skipped many decent games because I felt I couldn't "write enough". Moreover, my reviews used to take me about three to five hours to complete, and I would be both exhausted and less motivated to do more. It was a constant struggle to keep shelling out essay reviews. I hope this new format will allow me to review more freely and more often.

As a reader, I hope you will find this new writing format much more managable and user-friendly when reading upcoming video game reviews.
