How to Write Game Reviews

Posted on September 9, 2021April 23, 2023 by Dave Pizza

So you want to know how to write game reviews? As I glide through a tremendous Steam list full of unique reviews, it’s actually pretty awesome that gamers are getting involved and writing thoughtful reviews even though some are, not inaccurately, candid. Praising reviews and critical reviews both serve a purpose.

But let me tell you how, for me, nice reviews are still the best review. I don’t want to teach a gaming… Read the rest

Indie Demo Reviews 1: Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries This demo is super short, but it lets you try out the mechanics and the art style. It’s a hidden object story game, that has a grand plot involving the ghost of famous author Oscar Wilde in the jazz age Parisian roaring twenties. This game… Read the rest

Posted on January 31, 2021April 19, 2023 by Dave Pizza

Honestly though, I can’t totally remember WHY I remember these games, only that they evoke some mood or emotion when I play them. I guess you could call it nostalgia. Yeah, that’s probably it. The main reason for this is I wanted to try writing about something I haven’t tried. So here we go, six games I played when I was younger and what I can tell you about their place for Mr. Dave Pizza in the elusive 80’s and early 90’s. Note, I did not… Read the rest
