I'll tell you what's awesome. Me! For fixing those oversized screens of yours. I sometimes wonder what will happen to this place if I'm not around.

Sammy, your reviewing has improved a lot since you first starting posting here. This review is pretty awes- no, gotta use another word. This review is, uh... dope. I especially like how you end the review talking about how it's failure or success is going to have less to do with the game itself and more to do with the console crowd. It was an interesting place to go with the review and you went there without losing the point.

Yeah this is a pretty bold way to write a review. It came across well on my end, but I've put probably 600 hours in League of Legends and other MOBAs by now. I'm not entirely sure if the review would be as successful for people unfamiliar with all these acronyms, and even 2-3 paragraphs is a really light way to paint the general aspects of MOBA culture with.

I didn't want to get too into the whole MOBA thing, since it can be pretty offputting. It's true that the beginning might not be the best place for it but I wanted to get all that general stuff out of the way so I could talk about this specific game. It's not a review of a genre.

And hey, don't get me wrong. I really like this review and I like that I've seen you improve so much! You've also tackled a game I wouldn't know how to write a review for and yet when I read it, you make it seem very straightforward.

Yeah! What happened to the preview button? I've been having to preview stuff on my blog.
