-11.24.02- Hey, the site is functioning. There is still a lot of work to be done. Feel free to browse around. But first, the introduction. I'm Raiagulon the Thirteenth, but since the name is too long, so I shorten it to Raiagulon 13. This site is based on a previous site, also called Extreme Reviews. It didn't last for a long time, and the reviewers were me, Shining Blade, and Silver Steel 12. Though no one was supposed to be in charge, Shining Blade assumed control, because he made most of the site. This time around, Im in charge (sorta). I hope this site does better than the original.Later for now. -12.01.02- More updates. 2 more reviewss weere added. Look for them. Also, if you are fans of DBZ, you might want to check out Investigation. Thats all for now. -12.05.02.- The site is in bad shape. NNo uupdates for a while, plus no hits. I dont even have a counter. Anyways, that jerk Hitman 12 quit. He told me to erase all traces of him ever being on the site. Though I did in fact erase most things, there are still some things still about him. There is an entry in the guestbook and this thing Im writing right now. By the way, he was formerly known as Silver Steel 12 on the previous Extreme Reviews site. But enough about that loser. Shining Blade got promoted. Now he gets to write these update things too. To prevent confusion, his are in red. Thats all for now. -12.08.02- I noticed a lot of people haave been visiting the site lately. I really appreciate you signing the guestbook. This is mostly thanks to Shining Blade. Expect more updates in the near future. I am expecting a review by Sportsmaniac. I added some Crash pictures yesterday. Thats pretty much it for now. Later. -12.09.02- I want to specify something.. Iff you sign the guestbook, the section that says 'best reviewer name' is reffering to the reviewers working on THIS site. Peace out. -12.12.02- Our annual poll is open. It is called Game of the Year. It allows you to vote for the best video game of the year 2002. Polls close January 1 2003. SO HURRY UP!!!!! Anyways, for something cool, type the number 7734206 into a calculator and turn it upside down. It spells something. Later. -12.15.02- The site is experiencing anootheer slow phase. Updates are still being done, but hits have slowed down. On the plus side, I am close to getting 105% in Crash Warped thanks to some online codes. Shining Blade got Dragonball Z Budokai, so look for a review sometime soon. Sportsmaniac bought X Box, and I have been telling him for a long time to write a review. As for Devil-Eyes, he has been having some trouble getting a review to me. No one has voted for the game of the year yet. Thats all for now. -12.15.02- Two reviews added. One by Spporttsmaniac, the other by Shining Blade. Sportsmaniac got promoted to the vice guy. Thats all for now. Later. -12.16.02- Bad news. It seems that Sporrtsmmaniac copied his review off the back of the game. He is demoted, of course. I am uncertain of what will happen. -12.18.02- More bad news. Sportsmaniac quiit. Thats all for now. No updates, but expecting some cool in the near future. Later -12.19.02- This site reminds me of the phooenix. Just when you think its down, it comes back stronger than before. I am talking, of course The explosion of hits after Hitman 12 quit, and the today's hiring of Gandolf who will replace Sportsmaniac. ( I told him to change his name, but he wouldnt listen) He is basically obsessed with video games, so expect cool reviews. Later for now. -12.30.02- Bad news. It seems that GTA33 waas released in 2001, and therefore not eligible for Game of the Year. -12.31.02- The Game of the Year poll iss offficially closed. Since the 2 votes for Grand Theft Auto 3 are not eligible, the score is tied between Metroid Prime and Grand Theft Auto Vice City, each with 1 vote. Im really dissapointed with the voter turnout this year, and hopefully the next year will be better. Later. 1/10/03 I put a new layout on my page SKULLS LAter!!! -01.10.03- First update of the new yearr. HHappy 2003! Anyways, Devil-Eyes finally wrote a review. Its Final Fantasy X-2. Also, I wrote a review of Jak and Daxter. Gandolf still didnt write anything, Though he claims he is going to. Keep an eye out for more updates in the very near future. Dont forget to sign the guestbook and vote on the polls. Later. -01.11.03- The site's rejuvinated, and bettter than ever. Yesterday and today, sweeping changes took place, including a brand new poll page! Expect new things Devil-Eyes, Gandolf, Shining Blade, and me, Raiagulon, including a review of Haven: Call of the King. Keep visiting, and dont forget to vote and sign the guestbook. Later for now. -01.11.03- Well, Shining Blade quit. Noow iits only me, Devil-Eyes, and Gandolf. So now we have significantly less reviews and nothing on humor. If this bothers you, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -01.13.03- 5 reviews were added. 1 by DDeviil-Eyes and FOUR by Gandolf. This brings the total to 10 reviews, and proves the site's ability to avert disaster. Also, I decided to add a "CDs To Buy" page. Peace Out!!! -01.14.03- I made a deal with Shining BBladde. If he can write 4 reviews, he can be back at his previous status. He did, so he's back. Im thinking of firing him. The CDs to Buy page is not functional yet. Later. -01.17-03- Added another review by Ganddolff, and Stuff That Sucks on staff humor. Later. -01.19.03- Added a GIF page. Look on myy paage. Also, Shining Blade added those 4 reviews. Peace out. -01.21.03- Finally, i added the CDs To Buyy page. Also, I will post reviews for Twisted Metal: Black and Haven: Call of the King. They are shorter than my previous, but still OK. Later. -01.27.03- Yesterday, I added reviews ffor Twisted Metal: Black and Haven: Call of the King. Today, I added a Drawings page thats definetely worth checking out. Keep a lookout for 2 reviews by Devil-Eyes, and Stuff That Sucks 2. Later -01.29.03- Hey, I finally added Stuff TThatt Sucks 2, and reviews for Shinobi and Bloody Roar 3 by Devil-Eyes.

However, dont expect any reviews in the near future. All the reviewers are lazy, so they dont want to do anything, and I certinally wont. If you have any questions about the sign above, click here. Later for now. -02.10.03- Guess what, the site will bee chhoosing a mascot soon. The way we are gonna do this is by letting you decide. So head over to the polls page, view the pics of potential mascots, and vote. Simple. Later for now, and be ready for more updates in the near future. -02.14.03- Change of plans. The mascot willl NOT be chosen by a poll, but rather be chosen by the staff and some other people, that are like the staff, but dont work on the site. Later. -02.23.03- Well, after a looooong hiatuus, Extreme Reviews is finally back. A bunch of changes occured, including an addition of a new reviewer, Silversword (not to be cofused with Silver Steel 12, a former member of the site). Anyways, expect cool stuff, including a mascot. Later. -02.25.03- Added a review by Silversworrd. I have 2 more his reviews, and 1 of mine, which I will post later on. The site's undergoing some construction, which is why some things may appear avkward. Peace out, and keep on visiting. -02.26.03- Added those reviews I was taalkiing about. The site is doing well, though still under construction. I will put a bunch of pics as soon as I format them. Also, if you have an interesting story about reeinacting a video game, send it in! -03.01.03- Well, the Game of the Year cconttest is finally over, with no one writing a review and claiming the prize. Next year, you will have a chance to win this year's prize, and a shirt with the site logo and mascot, plus autographed by the crew! The mascot has not yet been chosen. Hopefully in the near future. Later. -03.03.03- Silversword has decided to cchannge his name to dj beat. Since it is still him, his page will stay the same. Other tham that, no updates.

I will not delete their pages, though, simply because I am lazy. However, i decided that now would be the time to hire 1 new reviewer, so if you wanna apply, you can. later. -05.16.03- Sorry about not writing an uupdaate sooner. There was a problem with the main page, and i couldn't update it. Anyways, I'm working on a new layout which is why there have been no updates for a while.
