PC Game review - Split/Second review.
Split/Second is a racing game - a racing game with a twist.
You race like a normal race, but if you develop play power, by drifting, drafting, and jumping, you can use that power to explode parts of the track and destroy your competition.
It was developed by Disney Interactive, and released in mid 2010.
OK, now that the intro is done, let's get onto the review.
I got this game for my birthday recently, installed it, played it, and instantly fell in love with it. And I normally don't like racing games. But this one just has a certain charm to it. It is fun, fast, exhilarating, and tense...all at the same time! It has great graphics (I have a great PC and I had to turn it down), a good soundtrack, and a great control scheme that is simple but effective. All it has is accelerate, turn left and right, level one power play, level two power play, and brake. It is very fun and would be a blast with your friends on a local area network. There are many game modes, including regular race, knockout (with time instead of laps), air strike (where you have to avoid bombs on the track for as long as possible), detonator, (which is time trial where there are set power plays), & survival (which is where you have to survive for as long as possible with bombs dropping on the track by trucks, which you have to overtake for points). Now, on with the scoring.
As this is my first review, I will explain my system of scoring. There are ten categories with a score out of ten each. That will add up to a total score out of one hundred, and an easy calculation for me to turn it into a percentage.

Looks good Andrew. When you start getting a few more I'd add an alphabetical list down the side bar of the games. I'd do the same with your intro post too, add it to your profile and have it on the side, so it's always at the top for people to read.
