NTSC-uk opened on May 1st 2001, and our aim is to provide the latest news and reviews on videogames across all game formats. We are primarily import gamers, but aim to review whatever games we are playing so cover Japanese and American NTSC games, PAL games, Portable games and PC games. We are based in the UK, but staff and readers hail from all over the globe.

- NTSC-uk was created by fans of videogames for fans of videogames. Everyone who inputs into the site is excited about the gaming scene and chooses to write about them through affection, not for personal glory.

- NTSC-uk is completely independent. A few retailers advertise on the site, but have no say in any of the editorial content. All views and opinions are those of the writer.

- We are first and foremost an import site because we believe importing provides a wider choice and better quality to gamers. We are keen to spread the word about importing and non-importers are welcome. We are happy to provide advice on any aspect of importing, no matter how small the query.

- We don’t aim to cover every release, only the interesting ones, from the bigger games to the smaller import only titles.

- Our reviews are totally unbiased and we are unafraid to differ from popular opinion. Our reviewers come from a broad base and their names are printed on all reviews, so readers can get to know their differing tastes. We accept that not everyone will agree with our reviews and we have provided feedback links. Readers are encouraged to leave feedback, whatever their views.

- Our reviews have a 1-10 grading system, with 10 being the best.  Unlike many other sites, our middle ground or average mark is 5, which we believe to be a fair and accurate score for an 'average' game.

- We will try to cover important hardware releases and events where deemed appropriate.

- We embrace the modding scene and emulation, but do not advocate piracy of current systems in anyway. We will give advice on all aspects of importing and modding, except where such advice is only in the interests of piracy.

- We are heavily into the retro and collection scene and encourage members to take pride in their collections.

- We have a popular trading forum which members use at their own risk. We have provided a feedback and wanted items folder to complement this. The site will attempt to resolve any disputes between members, but ultimately any purchase is buyer beware.

- We encourage a free flowing, open community, Suggestions and ideas are welcomed. Moderation of the site is a necessity, but we try and maintain an even hand at all times. The friendly atmosphere of the site is always of utmost importance.
