Play This Thing: games reviews from Greg Costikyan

Master game designer (and proprietor of the excellent Manifesto Games publisher) Greg Costikyan has just launched an excellent review-per-day game-review site called Play This Thing. Greg's one of the most interesting and shrewd games people I know, and I love the writing on this site. Link (Thanks, Ellie!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

“Just launched?” The oldest post is early May! That said, this looks a lot more effective and worthwhile for a quick lunchtime game than using the Digg ‘Playable Webgames’ section.

Two “excellent”s in one sentence?

Glad to hear about this, as Little Fluffy hasn’t been updated in over a year.

The reviews seem good, but I feel this is just like a site that’s copped a lot of games from http://www.jayisgames.com, the only one on this site that is clearly lacking on jay is, was the columbine game, there were a few others as well, but not enough of them seemed of a good enough quality that I’d be interested in them.
