that looks good. only thing i really noticed was a couple spots that could have used a comma and a spot where you didnt space after a period. and also, dont be afraid to do a little research for the test subjects. they are games that arent out yet, so not many people know a ton about them. so cheak em out and do some research ;) thats part of what we do here at the news team. good luck with your app!

continue posting articles and even interviews would be nice. we only discuss applications on saturdays so any work between each saturday well be able to go over and theyll help us decide. apps can take from a couple weeks to a month or so depending on ur skill level when starting out.

[PENDING] MAJORTHRE4T APPLICATION FOR FREELANCE NEWS TEAM

[PENDING] MajorThre4t Application for Freelance News Team

1) MajorThre4t is my GT and Username is MajorThre4t on the website

2) How much experience do you have writing articles? I have some experience in writing freelance articles but I enjoy writing reviews on video games, I am retired military so I did write alot while I was over-seas

3) Do you want to be a freelancer or become full-time?
I would prefer to do free lance type of writing as I enjoy being apart of XGC Prophecy XK but I will put in the work and time needed that a full-time writer would put in, I enjoy writing it is a true passion of mine

4) Submit as many works that you have done (try at least 3)

I currently have two video game reviews that I have done recently for XGC and they are posted below.

First Review: Games for under $20.00 review done about Pacman Championshop DX Edition

Talking Games for under $20.00 Pacman Championship DX Edition
How many people remember the day's of true arcade games? and no I don't mean games that are on the xbox live arcade,Do you remember the day's of lifting your couch cushins in hopes of finding some quarters?

Do you remember going to the mall with your parents and promising to be good if they would just lend you some quarters to go to the arcade? Now I bring this up because many people will remember the arcade genre was primarily known for one game or rather one game was primarily the game of a generation.

That game was Pacman, Now this review is not going to take you all the way back to the 80's with the awesome hair metal or the bell bottom jeans but rather fast forward you in time to 20+ years later for Pacman Championship DX Edition.

Pacman Championship DX Edition which is out now on the Xbox Live Arcade for 1600 MSP or $20.00 is not the pac-man we all know and love from the 80's but is much rather a much needed upgrade to a game who was stuck in a era

Pacman Championship DX Edition is more revamped graphics excellent sound quality along with the unforgettable whaka Whaka noise we all know and love but with different boards or playing surfaces from boards challenging your reflex's to boards just testing your ability to get a high score.

Nothing ever topped the feeling of after you died you got to post your high score and hopefully the following weekend you were still number one, With the ability to now post scores one numerous boards and post your high score against people from around the world you may have the chance to be the real number one in the world.

If you are looking for a fun game to take you back to your childhood but want don't want to break out the old school clothes the check out Pacman Championship DX Edition on the xbox live arcade to 1600 MSP or $20.00


My opinion for pacman championship DX edition is if you have 1600 MSP laying around instead of spending it on a new map pack give this game a chance and see if you can beat your fellow clan members scores.


Second Review: Games for under $20.00 Review of Plants vs Zombies

Talking Games for Under $20.00 Plants vs Zombies Review
Do often wonder what you will do if there is a impending zombie apocalypse? Is your first instict to grab your gun and protect your family? Do you put traps around you house to survive? Well what if you didn't have any ammo or items to set traps with. Introduce Plants vs Zombies

Plants vs Zombies takes place in a fictitious time where zombies are around and are trying to attack your house and all your armed with are deadly plants. Before you laugh and leave read on.

Originally released in 2010 by Pop Cap Games for the Xbox Live Arcade Plants vs Zombies is a game where your house is being attacked by fun loving zombies and your only defense is home guardian plants.

This game reminds me of a young kids type of game but after I put it in my xbox I began to realize that this game can be some what tough if you don't know what your doing or get easily overwhelmed.

With tons of variety in choosing the plants you pick to defend your house, and a lengthy campaign mode including 10 levels per chapter you will have a great time with game and not to mention you also get 2 other games (Peggle, Zuma) *Neither of which I played at the time of this review* You can purchase Plants vs Zombies at your local gamestop for $16.19 if you have the power-up card or $17.99 if you don't for this price you get 3 games


My final score for Plants vs Zombies on the Xbox 360 is to give it a shot pick it up for under $20.00 and with gamestop's policy of returning if under 7 Day's don't lose out on this fun filled lengthy game.


Thanks for reading my application and hope to hear from you soon.

the information is great along with how you present it. i did however notice a couple typos/spelling errors and some punctuation issues. you tend to put apostrophes where they arent needed and i believe i saw a comma where it was meant to be a period. another thing i noticed was sometimes you either miss a word making the sentence hard to understand or used the same word in a sentence multiple times. try to avoid that as it tends to get repetitious. overall good work. dont forget to check out the test subjects and do one of those :) they are posted every 2 weeks. good luck!

I wish the Multiplayer was as good as your article lol but really the only thing I see that should be fix is the end you repeated the beginning you should come up with a way to rephrase that YEA YEA

Oh and also you should make better paragraphs so your article does not seem like one big paragraph that will also make it easier for the reader to read YEA YEA that too!!

Well I think Black Ops 2 is a good choice to do an article on however I feel your article would be so much better if you just do more research you have the right idea but your asking for opinions of what readers think, its just me but I would leave that out and my own opinion meaning your opinion of what you think, it makes for a better article if you stick with facts.

And as far as the Gamestop rip off again its just me, I feel that the news team is not a place to dispute on whether Gamestop is unfair or not, we all know your not going to get what you want for a trade in, just like a car it depreciates after you drive it off the lot, and is the very reason I still have all my games lol and all my cars
