ive been having a string of bad luck lately that has kept me distracted from writing a review for the contest.my day job has kept me busy as well. 5 more days...hopefully i can get all this done during crunchtime. i'll still post the review even if i don't make the deadline.

anyhow, i just wanted to reflect a little bit about why i actually made the commitment to write reviews this year. especially during the last year or so, i haven't been playing games as much as i used to. it's kind of unfortunate as you grow older and have other responsibilities. i suspect that 5 years from now i will probably be playing even less. to compensate for this, writing reviews feels like another alternative of manifesting my passion for video games, then sharing them with others. if i'm not going to play games anymore, i may as well write about them. reviews are no different than a journal or blog. its all about capturing the experience. trying to put thoughts into words is challenging. when you think you've succeeded in stringing the right combination of words together to get your vision across and the reader can genuinely feel your words, the sense of accomplisment is just as gratifying as completing a game.

this year, i've written 3 reviews so far. all of them are hovering close to under or over 200 hits. i was expecting lower projections at the end of the year but i'm alrady satisfied if one of my reviews can get at least a 100 hits. rating reviews would be a nice feature to have. having hits is one thing, but having feedback is another matter.

yep end of the year ramblings. carry on.
