I am A novice reviewer but Am glad to help advertise any starter machinama maker's. If you have a machinama simply post it and a review will come out shortly if I think it has potential.

Review #1 Pandemic
Halo 3 and Halo Reach machinama made by BlackShardProduction
Voice acting could be done better and enthusiasm is needed for some characters but plot and action are well used to the point that you could see what they were going for and get past the bad voice acting in season 1. While You in no way could call the first a master peace you can say its one of the better and more harder worked on machinamas for the halo 3 list. Last I must add they choice a great song to be there theme and it works on many levels.

In the second season (so far with 5 episodes) Voice acting was made better and they added some special effects to add to the glare (not many just picture movements but it adds to character). Forge was wisely used and proven to be useful. Not much to be said so far as it resonantly started

The theme of season 1 is that 2 friends Nathan and Riley are stuck in ghost town trying to survive a zombie apocalypse intell they find another named Stephen. Soon after Nathan leaves because of a fight with Stephen. Because of this Stephen and Riley start a hunt to save him meeting new friends, fighting aliens and trying to save Nathan.

In season 2 things get more interesting when the main antagonist from season 1 comes back to start another infection. Once agien are heros must save the world but is it possible they won't make it tune in and find out.

I give it 3 and a half stars out of five and would give it a watch any time
Season 1
Season 2

enjoy

Review #2 Catalyst by FSMG productions
A new starting machinama so far with 2 episodes and 2 prequels to describe the main characters.
The plot so far is a squad of ODST's were deployed on reach to help stop the covenant. Soon they are sent on a Simple Recon mission. Mean while a treasure hunter named Williams is being held prisoner by a evil master mind. Soon William escapes landing on a military base. Apon landing he meats a commander who shares the same hate for this person. This leads to a small chance for William to get some payback. This soon entwines him with the ODST's but all else is un certain.

The first episode has little feeling to parts which need it the most. Not to mention how the music over tones almost every thing and some times is holding the machinama back. Player movement is a little lazy but I can say it's far better then most machinamas.

I give it a good 4.5 out of 5

Ep 1

Review #3 Haloside 050 by smileanddealwithit
While the first minute of voice acting is some what lacking the rest Is pretty good. The music pops in and is half the time just random adding to the hilarity. You won't know when to laughed or go "Powned".

Its basically about BS Angel going on betrayal spree and destroying any chance of her team getting a score higher then -100. From Robots to hunters, from Rooster teeth to Great music. This has every thing for every one.

I give it a good 4.8 out of 5 (was going to be 5 but the stale acting at the beginning just ruined it)
I would recommend this to every one

Haloside 050

enjoy :)

I enjoy your reviews, although I think with the last one you were over generous. I would have given it a 3.5 or 4.0 - yes because of the bad voice acting at the start, but also because the way the music comes and goes, it seems a little disjointed. Plus, the text looks really strange.

Your other reviews I agree with more though :)
