Errmmmmm....

I’m not too sure where to start with this blog. Though I love gaming I have never really been one for reading reviews or magazines.

I looked over Kieron Gillen’s blog and I just love how he engages the reader. A small chunk of his review goes over how limitations affect the game journalists. He picks up about timing from the start of making a magazine to finish, meaning journalists have a only a short amount of time for contemplation. I feel personally time is a huge deal. Without deadlines the writing could be continually refined and more thought could be put into it. He wrote through past experiences rather then straight to the point.

After looking over Kieron Gillen’s review I looked over a review for Project Gotham Racing 3. As I read it I felt it was written less formally as the previous piece of text. I felt they had written it more as a fan then a reviewer. The text was much shorter and didn’t engage the reader as much as Kieron Gillen but it was right to the point.

When it comes to writing I myself am not comfortable. I much prefer trying to relay messages through drawings much like the next artist does. When it comes to writing I find myself prefer subjectivity to objectivity.
