GameFunns reviews are built around one rule: the article should say what evidence exists and what evidence does not exist. A research-based article can still be useful, but it must not pretend to be a hands-on test.
Evidence tiers
- First-hand evidence: original photos, ownership notes, measurements, return-window observations, or real usage logs supplied by the site owner.
- Official evidence: product pages, manuals, support documents, standards bodies, government guidance, and manufacturer specifications.
- Attributed third-party evidence: credible reporting, lab tests, teardown notes, or specialist publications, clearly named and linked.
What we check before publishing
For product and buying-guide articles, the draft is checked for current model names, prices or price language, compatibility limits, warranty or support details, official source links, and whether the recommendation matches the evidence. Prices and availability can change, so articles should avoid presenting them as permanent facts.
How first-hand material is used
When the site owner supplies real product photos or usage notes, the article can describe those observations precisely. For example, it can say that the owner photographed the product, used it for a stated period, or noticed a specific comfort, fit, heat, cable, or app behavior. It cannot turn a photo into a lab test or invent measurements that were not taken.
How research-based articles are labeled
If no product was tested, the article should say so near the top or in the method section. Claims based on a manufacturer page should be attributed to that source. Claims based on third-party tests should name that third party. GameFunns avoids phrases like "we tested" unless testing actually happened.
What makes a review useful
A useful review does more than repeat specifications. It should explain who should buy the product, who should skip it, what tradeoffs matter, what to check before buying, and which claims still need confirmation.
