I have no idea how it&#8217;s going to go, but I think it&#8217;s a pretty good exercise in critically thinking about the games I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I want to be able to talk about all aspects of each game I review, but I don&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;ll be posting my first one of these in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of my site redesign, I&#8217;m going to start writing some game reviews for my blog.
