Game Reviews with a focus on the writing
Common advice for learning how to write in any media or genre is to read, read, read. Writing improves with more exposure to quality work by other authors. In games, lots of reviewers complain about the quality of writing, but when it's good it often barely rates a mention. So how are we as game writers supposed to know what we should be studying?
