Music Game Reviewer(s) Needed (Los Angeles/telecommute)

Have you played Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Wii Music .... or any of the other music games on the market? We're a new children's music website, launching in January 2010 and we need some game reviews of music games currently on the market. Reviews are written for parents as the primary audience.

We're looking for experienced writers/reviewers who have already played a raft of music games - maybe even published reviews of them previously - who can quickly write 500-1000 word reviews to our editorial guidelines. Bonus points if you have some musical experience/knowledge, knowledge of kids' ages and stages, and can throw that into the mix as well. Part review/part walk-through, we're also interested in any cheats/easter eggs you've found. However, the primary goal of each review is to enable parents to make a decision about whether the game is right for their kid, understand the target age group, find out if apart from pure fun - does something contribute to or enhance their kids's musical knowledge? (Remarkably, in most cases, yes!)

So if you've played through some of the major music games on the market and are interested, get in touch. Eventually, we hope to have this as a ongoing freelance gig for someone who really gets the music game market and is willing to play new games as they are released.

Hit us up with clips, a list of music games you own and have played and your review rate. Resumes aren't necessary (though welcome) - a short bio of relevant facts will suffice. Thanks in advance to all who apply!
