New reviewers wanted
MWI has a need for new reviewers as we currently receive more discs than we can review. We would like a commitment to at least two reviews per month. This position is unpaid but you get to keep the disc or download (the latter option is preferred for those outside the UK).
If you are interested, please contact John Quinn: johnquinn5@virginmedia.com
