I'm not actually sure how reviews in the game profile are sorted. You'll see that you have a new review (larger total number) but you have to open "See all Reviews" and scan through all the reviews until you see the one created on today's date. They don't seem to be sorted in date added or alphabetical order, I actually have no idea how they're sorted. But having them sorted to date added so that the newest reviews are the ones you see previewed on the game profile would be great.

They used to be sorted by date added. Then they introduced the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons, which are now used (I believe) to determine the reveiw order for a game. Reviews with more thumbs up should be higher in the list.

Ah, I see.
Not many people use that thumbs up / down feature, do they?
I guess there needs to be a clearer statement about the rating of the review... a star rating or 'thumb rating' perhaps?

Ehh, I don't think we need another star rating =p

I'd rather the reviews be sorted by date, personally.

I think it's great the way it is now. If someone takes the effort to make a good review, this review can be kept on top, even if almost no-one uses the rating.

The Game Creator should be able to choose the sorting of Reviews so he/she can then make the best review the first showed. This would be good because no game creator ones a stupid review that has 6 starts for everything and says Pros: Everything, Cons: Nothing. That just makes your game look bad.

True, very true th@'s v last thing any Game Developer wants, because they then have no mistakes to learn from and find a new way to make their game become better.
