maybe you don't want the 'videogame art' articles to be treated like reviews and more like manifestos

And after all, with a big ego should come great self-demand.

Why would I not want them to be regarded as reviews? It says "review" right there, at the top of the page. A manifesto is a "public declaration of policy and aims" -- nothing absolutely to do with reviews. I hope you haven't been reading too much of Tim's stuff. The only reason he called his top 25 games list a "manifesto" is because he was trying to hide the fact that it was merely yet another dumbass top 25 games list. The closest most websites come to manifestos is sometimes in their "About" pages.

I love this expression! I will be adopting it.

The hints I've dropped here or there are nothing. A single page from that book is worth more than this entire site. And I am not even exaggerating.

There's nothing I can do about it. I wouldn't want to add stars even if I could, because I want to drive home the fact that there is something special about these games compared to even regular five-star ones. I could try to make them stand out visually in some other way (like underlining or setting the font to bold, for example), but I haven't yet figured any such way that would at the same time look elegant.

Well there should be some suitable solutions. The stars clearly indicating the reviews are red, so anything else red (framing the picture, underlining 'videogame art' or something) would link them together without the need to explicitly write 'review' in front of each and every one.
Or you could use 5 gold stars for the videogame art reviews.

P.S.: Funny how 'Art' is now written all over the site. You will sure get some attention with it.

IS GAMES ART?
Leigh Rogers bursts onto the intellectual videogeam scene with a revolutionary, paradigm-shifting observation: geams are indeed art! Just not all of them -- only the really crappy ones.
