Time to be blunt and realistic..this kinda sucks.
First of all, the reviewing is completely biased. You're saying they're all great games when, in reality, they're not. They're mediocre at best. Secondly, the "reviews" are way too short and aren't even reviews, you're just briefly explaining what the game is. Thirdly, the grammar is poor. It's not very readable, using correct grammar is pretty important in a newsletter. Fourthly, it looks ugly. Why make something like this in MSPaint? Avatar's layout was waaay better and it's just stubborn-ness on your part to not use his. Fifthly, it doesn't need to be stickied. A stickied thread should be an important thread that people need to see, this isn't one of them. Next, the threads are right in front of everyone anyway, and they usually contain a lot more info and screenshots. Lastly, you spelt "Game Development" wrong multiple times.
If you really, really want to make this work then take my advice. Put together a small team, and I emphasise the word "small". Get someone who has been around for a while and knows what a good game is and is capable of giving a negative but completely honest review of a game. I think Avatar would be a great choice, providing he's willing to do it.
Also, most game magazines have a small section where they list the "Good Points" and "Bad Points" of the game they're reviewing. That'd be a good little addition.
Make it bigger. Everything is squashed together and looks nasty. You have the whole page width in front of you, use it. It's 511 pixels wide, it could easily be 800-900 pixels wide without stretching the screen at all. This will provide space for more writing, and you will actually be able to provide opinions on the game instead of just a brief analysis of it.
Don't refuse help when it's being offered to you, you need it.
Please unsticky it, it's not a thread worth stickying. Take it from an ex-mod.
Make sure it's proof read before posting it. Make it so it's actually enjoyable to read otherwise it's just annoying.
Sorry for the rant but I'm completely bored with squat to do. Don't take offense to this, I'm merely giving you my honest opinion.
