Hi Dark, lol I probably did get carried away in the descriptions of sound
placement, there's 1 lady I know from Sense, she's a member and though she's
blind her ears are super sensitive, even more so than mine, and I'm so used
to explaining sounds to her through audio that the habbit of explaining has
sort of stuck, but I will remember to bemore first person in the future :)
Feel free to add my review to the Shades of Doom webpage, I'd feel really
honoured. :)

Well I don't know whether your safe lori, we might have to install some
security cameras just to keep track of you :d.
Seriously, what I meant by the first person perspective is the way that
you here everything in the game from the point of view of the agent
himself, can turn a full 360 degrees and aime, and walk whichever way you
want. Setting out the movement and the limits of that view where for
instance you need to sidestep to hit targits or spin around to hit things
behind you culd be a good idea I think, sinse a person who's not played
such games before might not get the full overview without some more
explanation.
Just a miner point though, and it's stil a pretty good review.
all the best,
Dark.

Hi Dark, yes the link is going to stay there for all time if I can lol.
Could you explain what you mean by more of first person perspective? Do
you mean I should describe more function keys and such like, or is it to
do with gameplay? Also, ask yourself this question, am I safe on
audiogames.net.... :)

Hi Lori.
Nice recording, personally I didn't find the buz a problem, it was
noticeable, but no worse than on some other reviews I've heard.
For future reference My only real cryticism is that you might considder
giving a little more explanation of the first person perspective, if
this review is intended for novices at gaming, particularly considdering
that shades is usually one of the best games to get into first person
games with, indeed when I've recorded reviews myself in the past I've
often found having a vague plan of what I will do and what to say before
hand to be useful because I do tend to ramble on! :D.
Other than that however, what you've done is fine.
Is this dropbox link you've provided intended for perminant hosting? if
so, i'll be glad to add a link to your review to the shades of doom page
on audiogames.net.
All the best,
Dark.

Hello gamers, today I was feeling bored, so thought I'd record a review
of Shades of Doom 1.2 from GMA games, which I'm also going to post on
my blog for Sense Scotland, which is a charity I work for in the uk. I
thought though I'd like some feedback from the gaming comunity first
though, en case there's anything I could do better, or anything you'd
like to see included. I realise Shades of Doom is quite a well known
game now for some, but the people I'm posting this review at Sense
Scotland are only just finding out about audio games in general, action
games in particular. This is my first proper audio review, so I hope
you all enjoy it. Take care from Lori.
