AI War: Fleet Command

So I reviewed AI War by Arcen Games. It's probably one of my worst reviews, but I hope a fairly breezy piece of writing. One day I'll manage to be good at reviewing and sentence-crafting at the same time, and there'll be much rejoicing.

The fun and games in the comments (where Christopher Park, CEO and lead programmer of Arcen turns up to respond) makes me think that maybe I should try to formalise my thoughts on "how much do you need to play a game before you're qualified to review it". Trouble is, I'm not sure I've yet worked out my answer.

Hmmm.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review

It's very hard to talk about something you think is brilliant without just saying, "it's brilliant!" over and over again, so it's lucky Lewie lets me do more-or-less whatever I like when I write for him on Savygamer. I realise now that in this review of Super Mario Galaxy 2 that got published today, I spend more than half my time talking about the history of the series instead of the game itself, which is probably not the most balanced way of approaching things. Ho hum.

Review of Persona 3 - FES Edition

My meandering review of Persona 3 has now been posted over at Savy Gamer. At 1,600 words it's a slight test of endurance, but on the whole I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Tales of Monkey Island Review

My review of Tales of Monkey Island has now been posted on Savygamer, and you'll see I had less fun with the game than most other reviewers. Im hoping that's because I'm the only reviewer whose judgement wasn't impaired by nostalgia, rather than the seemingly more likely explanation that I've been too harsh. Hmm. Have a read and decide for yourself.
