About
This is where I review video games I have played. I am a hobbist and don't make money from any of this.
Some reviews are more in depth than others, it depends how much I have to say about the game. If you want to see records of my gameplay in more detail, check out the 'my play' page.
New reviews are added and sometimes old reviews are expanded, anything that isn't a link on the lists is planned to be reviwed. I never review games I hate, but I do reveiw games I have mixed or positive feelings on.
Sometimes I update completed reviews with extra content or information.
