Now, his review has to be either a) in the middle of this big thread where it probably won't get noticed, or b) in a whole new thread for the same thing.

While feedback and opinions on it would be nice, it would dirty it up so badly that the concept of this having it's own board, or even sub catagory is just not going to work.
Actually on the contrary-- allowing commentary on the reviews is probably the only reason this should have its own board. If you were to allow commentary, it probably wouldn't be great to have eight reviews on the same game in General Gaming, but if there was a sub-board for reviews, then it'd be more acceptable, since that's more about the reviews themselves.

But not having commentary is completely pointless-- like I said, we're not here to inform, we don't have followings of people that we're relaying news to.
General opinions on games can either go in threads for them, or the recommendations thread.
