Well, the review forum is ready for anyone willing to write one, to help you guys start I'm bring over the rules that were created for the review topic in the emergency board. (Note: this was written up by Tempest, I've just slightly changed it to work for the main board, hopefully to ge things rolling...)

Welcome to GBAtemp's Review Forum!
Only a Global moderator of this forum, or above can post on the review board. This is an attempt to cut down on spam posts and keep all posts relevant to reviews. Submissions of your reviews are to be done via PM. A list of mods who have volunteered to manage this aspect of the forum is due shortly.
Only one topic will be created per game. If you submit a review, it will be added to the relevant topic. It is expected of each review to be independent, that is, we won't find any comments on other reviews, like "Tempest's review is utter crap," "I can't see how Tempest found the bosses so easy," or so on. You're reviewing the game, not another person's review.
It's suggested you break your reviews down into various aspects of the game, such as gameplay, graphics, story, etc. Numeric scores aren't required, but some form of final rating is. Screenshots are only required if your review is the first one of a given game, though they aren't limited to only that one review. It's also suggested you format your reviews, using headings and so forth.
If you're posting a review, at the very least spellcheck it. Proper capitalization, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and so on make reviews so much easier to read, and if you don't do it, mods handling the reviews will have to, and chances are if they have to edit a review they will instead opt to not post it.
DO NOT PM a mod asking how they're coming on your review. Mods reserve the right to not post a review, and to not inform the submitter of this. If a review is up to a given mod's quality standards, then it will go up. This is your incentive to write as good a review as you can!
Finally, DO NOT submit a review more than once. Sending a review to multiple mods is not going to help you get it posted; in fact, the opposite is more likely, as it's annoying to deal with.
Thank you, and happy reviewing!
