Andrew 4650 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well I'm using it more for writing practice than anything else, would be nice to have something decent to point to when I'm going for jobs towards the end of my degree like I said will mostly be shortish reviews but I'll be sticking other stuff up there too, gaming news and bits of random crap I find and like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10430 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Andrew, I haven't read your blog, and I'm not dismissing Pokemon out of hand. But I don't believe popularity is a measure of quality. Pokemon shifted so many units because it's, very cleverly, set itself up as a collectable game. It's not like simply varying the players available will make FIFA more attractive, that game relies on tweaks to game-play and graphics, perhaps a new mode or something. Pokemon can constantly reinvent itself with a new monster and a new land. Again I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I wouldn't use the peer pressure lead purchases as definitive assurance of it's quality. I'll read your blog when I'm not at work though.

The Fish 10430 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 If you're going to get people to read it, you should try spicing up your language a bit. Not swearing, but make it a little more surprising. be analogous, use wit, because at the minute (and please don't take this as a "don't give up the day job") it reads like a book report for school.

You may not be a person who enjoys nostalgia, but there's plenty out there that do and I think that's who the blog is aimed squarely at. I know I enjoy having a look round the internet for games that I played on my old Spectrum, Amiga and Mega Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7059 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Reviewing games is kinda cool. Reviewing Pokemon games is, perhaps, suggesting you need to get yoursel some action, game designer or not. Given the often ruthless nature of this site though, good on you for letting people peek at you. And, all the best with the blog and blart.
