As part of my site redesign, I’m going to start writing some game reviews for my blog. I have no idea how it’s going to go, but I think it’s a pretty good exercise in critically thinking about the games I’m playing. Hopefully this will translate into my own games, improving my designs and helping me to express my ideas more precisely. My goal is to write a review for every new game I play and hopefully go back and review some of my favorite old games.
I want to be able to talk about all aspects of each game I review, but I don’t think it is a good idea to give too many spoilers. This is going to be a balancing act. I think I want to lean towards more analysis than review, which will end up giving away at least game mechanic spoilers. To help you remember this I will be putting reminders at the beginning of posts describing how thorough the spoilers are. It might mean that what I have to say is only useful if you’ve played the game and I will probably play around a bit with my formatting of theses posts to try to make them the most useful. I’ll be posting my first one of these in the coming days.
