Child’s Play review
Still Alive
For months now I’ve been hearing about the astonishing storytelling power of Portal, along with its fabulous physics and game design.
I hardly ever play mainstream commercial video games — I don’t have the hardware to run it well, for one thing — but I was really curious about Portal, so recently when I got a chance to play it on friends’ XBox, I took it.
What follows is spoilery and also probably doesn’t make that much sense unless you’ve played.
Another Play This Thing Review
Play This Thing is now running my review of Treasures of a Slaver’s Kingdom by S. John Ross.
New Play This Thing! review
Of Rendition. Well, “review” might be the wrong word. But it’s up.
IF Beginner’s Comp games
Spoilery, IF-Comp-style comments on the games for the IF Beginner’s Comp. If you haven’t played these and you intend to play them, you should do so before reading these reviews.
