Finally made it level 6 so I can start to write reviews. I understand Gamespot's desire to try to get people to appriciate and take review-writting seriously, but this is absoutely rediculous.

all those games added to my collection, playing, tracked list, etc.

All this so I could finally write reviews that were going to be intelligent and thought out even if they didn't require me to waste far too much time jumping through gamespots lame hoops.

Oh yeah, I could have bypassed this all by PAYING them to write game reviews for them. Yeah, that makes sense.

Dumb Gamespots. Stupid levels, bad, stupid, evil.

On the bright side, now I can write reviews, and since they will be intelligent and thought out (taking a while to write) I'm sure I'll be level whatever-the-frick in no time. I'm almost ashamed I wasted this much of my life so I could write game reviews.

What the heck does it take to get to the point that you can start to review games.

I understand all the concern over bad reviews (as in short and useless) but forcing people to either pay or be on the site for 6 kajillion hours before you can write reviews is downright rediculous.

Ah, the horror.
