Summary:

The Review Project asks students to construct two journalistic video game reviews: one that is primarily textual (printed: at least 300 words) and one that is an audio or video recording (burned to CD: at least one minute, and including written script). The two reviews will focus on different video games, and they will adopt the styles of two existing venues. The only restriction on a student's choice of games and venues is that each game should be appropriate for its corresponding review context (in terms of genre, period, platform, demographics, etc.).
