Greetings...

Welcome to my newest blog adventure, One Game Too Many, who's name you likely figured out by reading that giant headline up on the top of the page. The goal with this blog is simple - I'm going to try and tackle a big batch of games every month, until my brain runs off with the wrist that's suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Now, before you all think, "This guy's going to finish a ton of games every month, he's nuts, never going to happen.", I'm going to agree with you. Because, frankly, that's not the goal, rather, I'm taking a cue from Nick Hornby's "The Polysyllabic Spree," wherein he begs, buys and borrows a batch of books (how's that for alliteration?) every month, reads some, ignores some, and often ends up reading ones he had not intended to. What that means here is that I've got a mountain of games, both old and new, along with a game rental subscription, and I intend to make use of them. I won't be trying to plough through each game, no chance. This is about sampling each game in the context of simply trying to enjoy it. We're not talking professional reviews here, you want that, please, feel free to hit CTRL+L, type in "metacritic" and follow that with CTRL+Enter and Enter again. Nice knowing you...

But if you're looking for an almost literary examination of games and how they relate to me (and hopefully, you and others), this might be a good start. We'll see, this might go down as the worst experiment ever, or it could be great. Who knows...but let's get started.
