I'm Quinny and I like games.
I've been hooked on video games for 25 years, with gamer and non-gamer friends in equal measure. I noticed that my non-gamer friends often sought me out for recommendations — flattering! Many of them only knew of gaming as far as standard FPS games, and wanted to know if there were different games that they would enjoy. When I went to give them more info, I found that many of the write-ups I gave to those friends were inaccessible in some way; too much jargon, not enough explanation, too many nudges for in-jokes my friends weren't in on.
I love games, and I want people who didn't grow up on games to love them too. This blog is for them, people like them, and you.

Given that it's now going to be a Comradery project, I'm reviving it to post regularly for a wider audience, a... Continue reading
