A Mock Review should be so much more than just a number. That’s why EEDAR delivers a comprehensive product that goes above and beyond the traditional review text and score. Our Mock Review/Preview breaks down a game’s specific strengths and weaknesses, offers suggestions on which sections of the game demo well and which do not, delivers realistic recommendations for how the game could be improved, and details specific PR and marketing touch points that the games media will respond to.

This isn’t just a Mock Review. It’s a comprehensive evaluation of how a game will be received by the media and how that reception can be improved.

Product Fact Sheet

Making games is both an art and a science. Evaluating them should be, too. EEDAR’s Mock Reviews sit at the crossroads of qualitative and quantitative analysis. By combining a data driven approach to trends and consumer interest with the expertise and critical eye of experienced game journalists, EEDAR is able to look at upcoming games from all angles to deliver the feedback you need to succeed with the media and consumers alike.

Using our proprietary database, EEDAR is able to look at historical review trends and biases in ways that nobody else can. By cross referencing thousands of review scores with millions of data points, EEDAR’s Review Metrics report can deliver a complete look at what types of games individual media outlets enjoy... and which they don’t. Review Metrics can save you research time and help quickly identify which media outlets to target for PR activities.

EEDAR Mock Reviews provide a consistent format and quality of product that reflects numerous rounds of industry feedback to provide a succinct - yet highly informative - analysis on your games potential quality from an editorial perspective.

Under the direction of veteran video game critic and journalist Erik Brudvig, EEDAR’s Editorial Insights division has produced scoring projections with 90% accuracy in its first full year of service. Prior to joining EEDAR, Erik Brudvig worked for nearly six years at IGN Entertainment - one of the most influential review outlets in the world - where he directed the Xbox 360 coverage as Executive Editor. His expertise and experience combined with EEDAR’s industry leading data has delivered near perfect results.
