    Hi. Not sure if the title is a bit misleading but can you please include a section, or just a footnote witin your PC Game reviews to cover issues with things like 'savegame' files? I ask this because I am sure that within this community of gamers, modders, etc... reinstalls are a frequent practice and it absolutely sucks when said game is installed, the savegame file/folder is copied across, only to find that it no longer works.

    With consoles this is not an issue as the games are not installed in the same way, but this can be and often is a very frustrating issue to come up against within the PC gaming world. I use the examples of CodeMasters recent games.

    I am not requesting an in depth guide to copying savegames, just a little heads up stating if there were any issues or not.

    Thanks.

    Yes! And games that don't use the Saved Games folder in Windows Vista/7 should LOSE points. Imagine if all games uses that directory to put saves... it will simplify everyone life A TON! And no more format/re-install and realize that we forgot to backup a game save.
