Anonymous asked: I notice you almost exclusively review games for mobile and Nintendo systems. Do you ever feel like you are missing out on certain genres or franchises you would like to visit?

Thanks for the question. I do occasionally have a twinge of wanting to play something, like Shadow of Mordor recently, that is not only outside my usual purview but also on a console I don’t own. But for the most part I’m quite content with what I have available. I’m into platformers, action-adventure, some RPGs, the occasional racing game. Nintendo serves me well and I love their IP. My impression of what I’m “missing out on” is realistic violence, heavily multiplayer-focused experiences, and open-ended games. And I don’t miss that at all.

I get to see a lot of the new stuff through podcasts and so on, ABC’s Good Game, people talking on the forum; and a lot of it doesn’t appeal to me. I do currently have a small stack of PS3 games that I’ve yet to get around to, and a modest Steam library of Humble Bundles and Portal 2, which is actually next on my list. So when I do want to branch out I can, but I guess Nintendo stuff just fits my tastes very well.

One thing I will say is that if you, my loyal readers, ever want to challenge me to play something or want to see me write about any particular thing, I will see it done. Provided it’s not The Order 1886 or something.
