Hurrah! It's what you've all been waiting for, but Profile Reviews are back! With some innocent victims and our judgemental eye, how will they fare?
If you thought you and your profile were safe from judgement then you could be very wrong; hurry up and get the background colours changed on your pictures, get some nice soothing music playing and why not throw in some quotes... it cant hurt, can it?
For those of you who dont know how this works, its simple. Every week I will randomly select three players from the users online page in a scientifically proven random way (by closing my eyes and clicking)! Then the fun begins. As the title would suggest, if chosen your profile gets the once over from us and what you see here is the end product; a no holds barred, comprehensive, honest review of what we see!
Name: R0bert220
Images: Well, first impressions are good! The widescreen uses a wolf theme much like someone else that we know Im sure
it escapes me! Oh well, this one is far better! The eerie look of the image gives the profile a striking first impression! Very well made by Slumberman!
The only other picture on R0bert220s profile deceptively says Welcome to my profile, but with it being positioned after the only other content on his profile, we at The Buzz thought this was rather strange
Images score:  
A good score; started well with the widescreen but was let down somewhat by the fact the background colours of none of the pictures have been changed. we asked R0bert220 about why he hasnt done this and he told us I like the design of the pic and haven't felt the need to change anything yet.
Music: Not much to say here, there is none! We tried out best to think of a reason for the lack of music, we thought perhaps it was to add to the eerie feel of the profile, silent in a dark wood full of wolves. However when we asked R0bert220 about his lack of music the only excuse he had was I always have the music turned off on other peoples profile so I don't see the point.
Music score:
To quote Achmed The Dead Terrorist, Silence! I kill you!. Luckily you wont be killed but you will get 0/5!
Text: Again this part of R0bert220s is sorely lacking, perhaps he wasnt the best choice to restart profile reviews with, but random selection means just that unfortunately! We asked him why he doesnt have any text and he told us I've just recently started playing again after about a 8 month break.

I wish there was a way I could give you more but zero text gives you zero out of five!
Overall: Despite the lack of music and text, the images make for an aesthetically pleasing profile and they have saved R0bert220 from what could have been a very low score!

Being without any text or music the rating has been pushed down but we think it is still worth two barrels! Get the background colour changed on your pictures and put in a bit of text to add to the personality of your profile and youve got a very nice profile!
Name: PhSyCo
Images: Well someones a cat fan! And while we at the Buzz are no less cat lovers than the next online text based game newspaper, these cats give PhSyCo's profile a distinctly creepy feel. If we were lucky enough to receive the friend of PhSyCo picture, we would be far too terrified to refuse it! To our eyes though, the pictures seem well made and it is nice to see the effort being made to have changed the background colour on the pictures, good effort PhSyCo!

Good, well made pictures. Not five barrels though as the effort could have been made to put the 300x300 on all three tabs!
Music: Again none! What a treat it would be to find someone with music on their profile but random is random!

Text: None! Dissapointing!

Overall: PhSyCo seems to have somehow made the lack of music and text in his proile add to the images and overall feel rather than take away from it. Quite an impressive feat we thought!
