Up to 10 for the year

By Peter Butter · June 12, 2009

10 reviews submitted over 2009. 8 of them are just ported over from GameFAQs, sometimes with minor updates, sometimes not, but it makes it look like I've been doing something. Two new pieces written, both this week. It remains to be seen if this is only the beginning, or both the beginning and the end. But I think there's a few more reviews rolling around in the back of my head, and I'd better get them out before they find the keys to the liquor cabinet.

About the blogger

Peter Butter

Starting out as a small time reviewer and FAQ author on GameFAQs, my writing has been even more tilted toward the old school than my gaming. I enjoy games of many eras, but I always found it more compelling to write for something that hasn't been done extensively already, which often ruled out the more modern games I played as I tend to run at least a couple of years behind the facts. My Honestgamers catalogue was initially just copying over much of my old GameFAQs work, and then for a time dual submitting to both sites. But over 2015 I posted my first HG exclusives, with hopefully more to follow.

Strike while the iron's hot (avoiding cliches like I just said, of course.) Any ideas on which games you want to review, or is it confidential for the tournament etc.?

I think rewriting a review is important and, surprisingly, exhausting--from what little I've done so far. But I approach it as such:

--if a review requires little touch up, I did a good job with it
--if a review requires a lot of touch up, I've improved considerably as a writer since I wrote it

A bit self serving, but maybe it can help you too.
