Plus people would not bitch about not being able to review their fave game because somebody else is doing that.

This implies that there would be one than one exstra review for some games, and probably quite a few for the most popular ones. Frankly, if people want to review their favourite game, they can do it at amazon ot moby.

I agree that some of the reviews are aren't very well done. Some are too short and some fail to do anything but deliver shallow praise for the game in question. That said, I'm not sure I think this is a good idea. What if the new review for a certain game is just as bad? Will it be accepted? And how many reviews for one game will be accepted? I'd hate to see a situation where a game like Monkey Island has 100 reviews. I mean it's not like anybody will ever read them.

The best solution, IMO, would be if someone could enhance the already existing reviews, without changing what it already says (basically just writing exstra stuff in a review). That way both the original writer and the new one would be credited for writing it. Of course this would require some good quality control, as the goal is to increase quality, not quantity.

*edit*

I agree about moving the guides to the main section. That would definitely help a few people, and avoid some of the usual "how do I run this game" questions.
