New Games Journalism is a video game journalism term, coined in 2004 by journalist Kieron Gillen, in which personal anecdotes, references to other media, and creative analyses are used to explore game design, play, and culture. It is a model of New Journalism applied to video game journalism. Most New Games Journalism articles are not reviews of games in the traditional sense. They can instead be understood as being analogous to travel journalism, where the writer responds to subjective experiences presented to them by the game world, as well as interactions with other players online, real-world events surrounding gameplay, and other personal experiences and anecdotes which create a unique story. The story is not necessarily indicative of the experience any other player will have with the game and will be unlikely to offer any objective value-judgements regarding the game's merits or failings. Instead attention is focused on the subjective experience of the person playing the game.

I am going to play all of the videogames I have and write about them. The main themes of this blog are that Roger Ebert should not be left near a functioning computer and that videogames are art.
Here is a preliminary list of the games I have that I plan to write about:
For the Sony Playstation 3:
+Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots
+Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
+Tekken 6
+Super Street Fighter IV
+Soul Calibur IV
+Noby Noby Boy
+Loco Roco Cocorecho
+Flower
+Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
I want to get more games so this list will probably expand over time. Stay tuned for my first post which should be up later today. Thanks.
