Game Theory Magazine

So a month or two ago, I got involved with writing articles for a new digital gaming magazine, which as anyone who has been following me on twitter knows, it would be Game Theory Magazine. It’s Free to subscribe and read, and looking at our now launched first issue, it’s looking pretty damn sharp and I’m proud to be a part of it.

It will be Bi-monthly, which is a nice cycle for me as it gives me plenty of time to review the games I’ll be covering properly, and the other articles I’ll be writing for it covering hardware, and my favourite subject gaming culture or positive impact gaming.

There is and will be contests run with various partners, and we have some good quality writers and staff working on this. So please take time to give it a read when you have time if you haven’t already, and I appreciate the feedback I’ve received for both my STO review and the magazine itself, you can also leave a comment on here. :)

It’s an exciting opportunity and I hope you all enjoy reading it.

Thanks Much

Players Only – Rewriting Game Journalism – Commentary

Having watched all of this season of Digital Trends – Players Only, by far this is I think the best episode I’ve seen. There’s a lot of truth in that, especially for gaming blogs.Of which there is an uncountable amount of them as everyone and their dog has opinions on games, on gaming, and on the game industry.

Yes, I am aware I’m no different than the rest, and while I do try to keep some measure of objectivity especially when I talk about games, I of course have opinions, it’s an opinionated business to say “This game rocks” or “This game sucks”

Lets be honest, we have our preferences and while I or anyone else can find good and bad points about games, generally I will cover games that actually interest me, not games that are just out there. Unless they’re given to me to check out of course.

Media isn’t dead, it’s evolving, it’s just that a lot of print media companies and journalists seem to not have the flexibility to make the jump more often then not.

All that said, I really enjoyed this episode and took a lot of food for thought from it. Maybe you will too.

Oh and final point, I know plenty of you dear readers know as much as i do, and probably a lot know more than I do on certain points.

A person isn’t defined by what they know, but what they don’t know and choose to learn more about.
