Should I change my review style to more free form reviews which are simply paragraphs, not categorized by sections as they are now.
Reason I ask, lately I have been finding for certain reviews that there isn't a whole lot to say about one area, or some of the areas cross over.
Thoughts?

Don't care. But definitely get rid of the "Graphics" section as all games look exactly the same, ie. Unreal Engine

so basically you wrote a review that you're satisfied with, only to find it hard to tear it apart and categorize it to sections? then leave it as it is.
maybe some games can be easily described by separating them to categories but not every one of them.

Ya I find some games are so average that's it's difficult to write much without becoming overly verbose. How many times can we stress that the graphics look 'plasticy' or that the controls are clunky-as-fuck

In a way, the review style makes for reviews to be quite repetitive.
Please review Singularity, ForFuckSake.

Its nice to have it as a template, so when applicable you could still use it. But if it is not really usable, I see no reason to force the review in the template.
