A brief manifesto
I need a first post to get the ball rolling, so how better to start than with a brief (and probably foolish) declaration?
So here we have it -
Potential Gamer is about:
- The massive untapped potential of gaming, in both artistic and commercial terms, and the industry’s frustrating reluctance to pursue it.
- Gamers that are left out in the cold with nowhere to go.
- All those people who would really love games, if only they were given a reason to do so. You may have heard them referred to rather disdainfully as ‘the mainstream’.
- Games that try to do something different.
Potential Gamer is most definitely not about:
- Tediously gratuitous T&A.
- LOLz.
- ‘Beating’ games in the shortest time possible.
- Consoles vs consoles vs PCs vs anything.
- Unwarranted hype.
I’m just getting started, so give me a little time. Thanks.
I love the way how you started this post with “I need a first post to get the ball rolling” and the first review is about a ball rolling
Subscribed to the feed.
I look forward to reading more of these posts, Simon.
Cheers,

Good to see you here Digerati! Hope you stick around. Tell all your friends, etc.
You know, I’d love to say that the ‘ball rolling’ thing was a deliberate bit of inter-post referencing but, alas, it was just a coincidence. My blogging skills have yet to advance to a level whereby I can forward-plan to that level.
Well I’m certainly going to stick around and blab this to friends and such…who knows maybe this could be the start of a real life magazine and a real team of people all reviewing games
Good luck and bring on the Multiwinia review!
Thanks Ben!
And don’t forget, it’s a Multiwinia PREVIEW, not a review.
