Every couple of weeks, a thread pops up where somebody is asking for game recommendations. Either that, or one game starts getting discussed, and then other posters start mentioning a few of their favorite games, offering up a list of titles and--if we're lucky--a short one-line description or video that really doesn't convey any meaningful information, except that somebody out there likes the game. So by the time the thread is over, people have submitted their own little lists, and the OP and anyone reading the thread is inundated with a lot of unhelpful if well-intentioned suggestions, no definite lead with which to start and sadly little substance.

What would be more useful and interesting, in my opinion, is a full review. A review can give a reader enough information to give a reader an idea of whether or not the game fits their particular tastes.

Yes, there are plenty of review sites out there. However, those reviewers aren't TL.netters, and obviously TL.net has overall good--daresay somewhat similar--taste in games. And yes, there are games other than BW out there.

So if there is any interest, I'll be posting video game reviews of games I deem superb or at least outstanding in some fashion, here in this blog. If there's no interest, then I'll probably ditch this project here.

FYI I mostly play console RPGs and strategy (tactical) RPGs, as well as some action, puzzle, shmup, fighter.

Poll: Would you like me to do game reviews ?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): I don't care

Games I'm thinking of reviewing possibly at the moment: + Show Spoiler +

Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria
Star Ocean 3
Breath of Fire 5
Ico
Der Langrisser (mostly because of the new translation)
Romancing Sa-ga 3
Lufia 2
Seiken Densetsu 3
Ogre Battle
Tactics Ogre
a few freeware PC games

purposefully straying away from those with the most exposure but not exactly digging into obscure titles

BW is pretty much the only PC game I play, and two genres I know nothing about are war and fps. T_T sorry. That is, unless my interpretation of war-related as like...a historical shooter is incorrect?

In any case, I'll go ahead with my first review. I'll post it either this weekend or the next, probably. First I need to decide which game to do.
