If you want to know the forum name, if you click the "feedback on the forum" button at the bottom of the review, it'll allow you to PM them. I'd have to add a new field to the database and rejig everything to do it on the main review page so realistically isn't going to happen. Soz.
I agree with the above suggestions. I think the retrospectives should be given greater emphasis and importance. You will never be able to exhaustively cover the new releases adequately and in a timely fashion. People can get news elsewhere. So you need a different angle.
The writing is generally very good, which is clearly a big advantage compared to most websites. But taking the traditional videogame website model, you will always be hamstrung by not always being able to review the latest games around the time of release.
So I think a greater emphasis on retrospective articles would be a great addition. Articles in the same vein as Edge's Time Extend and PC Gamer's Long Play, where the writer is given the opportunity to examine in length the achievements of a title, the context it was delivered in, and its lasting legacy. (It doesn't have to be strictly "retro"; anything not of this hardware generation would be worth covering in this fashion.) I also think it will highlight the website's existing strengths: balance, passion, good writing.
