User talk:Cooper Justin/Computer and Video Games

Tim Reilly's peer review for Cooper Justin's Article

This article outlines the purpose of the Computer and Video Games magazine and the content that the magazine, website, and YouTube channel delivered. The article is matter of fact, outlining the magazine, website, and YouTube channel. The article did not have much color.

A suggestion I would make for the author is to add more context and color to the article to appeal to the reader. For example, the article discusses the site expanding and having a popular forum with many users and topics. Here the author should give examples of the popular topics discussed and summarize the demographic of the users who engaged on these sites. The article discusses cheat site, CheatStation, here the author can give relatable examples of cheats used in certain games that the end-user could connect with and how those cheats could enhance a gamers play. The author can discuss whether the use of cheat games is ethical, or even legal. How does the gamer community feel about the topic of cheat codes?

The reader of this article will most likely be someone who is interested in computer or video games. For the author to really grab the readers attention and connect with them, they should give more real-life examples of what this magazine covered topics wise, some of the most popular or controversial topics, etc. If the author can entice the reader, the reader may try and find old magazine articles to learn or read more.

I noticed this article is like mine in the sense that it describes and gives facts about the topic. There is not much gray area of opinion, bias, or belief provided by the author. The article is written matter of fact. This article as well as my own, Ethics of Technology, give the reader room to form their own opinion on whether something is ethical or not. In my article, the reader can form an opinion or judgment on whether the use or development of certain technologies is ethical in society. In this article, the reader is left to determine if the magazine, website, and YouTube channel was ethical by providing cheat codes to gamers.
