A New Experience

So, first blog. Seems a little....strange. It's not that I haven't got anything to talk about on the subject of games, it's just I'm not entirely sure where to begin. I guess my underlying suspicion is that nobody will read this...time will tell.

But alas, there's no point getting down. Hell, I've registered on here, I may as well write something, even if what I write only lies unread on the vast, anonymous universe that is the internet. So let's get to it.

On to the point of this blog:
My intention with this (assuming at least one person other than me reads it) is to express some of my opinions on games and the gaming industry. Why? Surprisingly, it isn't because I want people to know I'm a gaming obsessed nerd. Well, maybe a little bit - has anyone else noticed how typically minority groups, or groups which go against the 'norm' are quite 'in' at the moment? Like people who say all popular music these days is rubbish, or the people who parade around blatantly advertising their affiliation with the local socialist party. Nobody else noticed? Just me then.

Back to the point....which was. Actually I just want to write about games because I'm interested in them and talk about them anyway (not on my own, to other people), so why not write it down as well?

I'm not entirely sure where to start - I'm sure the process will become clearer as I get used to this, much like how when you first use the internet it seems quite foreign, but after a while you get used to typing words like 'lol' and it no longer seems pointless to email your brother in the adjacent room. So, with the news that renowned video game afficionado, Jack Thompson may be disbarred for ten years, I figure I'll do something about his favourite game series, GTA4.

I have written a review of it which I think is quite accurate and fair. But be prepared, I did not give it 10/10, but then Rockstar didn't pay me anything or give me a free copy of the game (in fact they took $110 of my money for it). Perhaps such incentives may have tipped the balance in favour of a perfect 10. But the world is not perfect (you read it here first), something which should be obvious, given that we share the world with people such as Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton and George W. Bush.

My review is about 2000 words, so I'll post it in a seperate post (is that the correct jargon in blog spheres?). To anybody who has read this by the time I post it, thanks. But really, you had nothing better to do than read my ramblings? Mate, I feel sorry for you.
