SUBMIT CONTENT
What If I want to submit content to controller1.com?
just send an email to:
Submit Something!
Do I get paid?
No, not just at the moment. But if the site takes off, who knows?
Will it get me laid?
I won’t lie to you. Yes, if you submit content here, you will get laid.*
Do I get free stuff?
Baby steps. Let’s learn to crawl before we run to get free swag.
Why would I give you stuff that I’ve sweated over?
You aren’t giving us anything. We’re just hosting content if you want people to read it. You still
own whatever you contribute and are free to post on other sites.
VIDEOS
What’s with the videos?
We make videos on the side for personal amusement. Completely not-for-profit. We thought you might enjoy these videos that are totally unendorsed.
Who’s ClivePwned?
Just some guy who makes videos.
What if I can’t play the videos?
It’s the 21st century. If you can’t play You Tube videos, then something’s wrong. Maybe you could call Activision Customer Support and tell them your Rock Band Drums don’t work on Guitar Hero World Tour
PODCAST
What’s with the Podcast?
Its three guys who play games, but not necessarily the same games as each other. Each show revolves around a theme and we try to bring in games the other may not have played.
Podcats?
This is a videogame website. Not a spelling website.
* If the prospect of writing content for a videogame site excites you, you will probably not get laid.
REVIEW SCORING
How controller1.com rates games:
Numbers are meaningless. But we’re going to give in a scale that makes sense
0- Don’t buy. It is a terrible game that you will instantly regret buying
1- An average game. Rent if you’re still interested or buy it very cheap
2- A good solid game. You should enjoy this but don’t lose sleep if you don’t play it
3- Excellent. You must buy this game
We also realise that we aren’t necessary the target market for some games. A game may not click for us but may be fantastic for others so we often include a qualifying score such as:
Controller1.com rating 1/3 (or 2/3 if you’re a fan of previous games in the series)
The overall score out of three is our opinion but there maybe a higher or lower score in brackets for some people.
If you really must translate our scores into percentages use the following metric:
(on a 0-10 scale this would translate to 0 = 1-3, 1 = 5 or 6, 2 = 7 or 8, and 3 is 9 or 10)
Also- when we review a game that is more or less the same on multiple projects, we list the title in each of the platform is available. We’re reviewing the game, not obsessing over minute frame differences or counting pixels, but we make clear which platform the game was tested on in the review title.
