Hi everyone, I've started a review blog for Steam games, with the catch being that we can only write 100 words on each game. We've already got around 50 reviews published, and I'm looking for other people to maybe write some reviews as well. So please, take a look and see what you think. I'd appreciate any comments you have about it. Thanks, Matt.

That's a good idea! I always thought someone should do something like a First Impressions of every single demo on Steam, and this is kind of like that, so that's fun. Having only skimmed through it at work for a bit, I can say that I like the format lots -- but I haven't looked closely enough to see if I agree with the reviews for the few games I've played. =)
Wot I Think: The Game : an ongoing collaborative game-design experiment / comedic disaster here on the RPS Forums!
Kata vs. Kata : a game of simultaneous round-based predictive martial arts (like frozen synapse, but with punches)
My Games on Kongregate : "computainments" for your world wide web experience
How do we submit reviews and the like? Do we get in touch?

Thank you very much for your comments :D I do mean to play the games a bit longer, but I just can't sometimes.
Why specifically games available on Steam? Surely it should be PC games in general?
Because it started off as me going through my Steam catalogue, and everyone else who's started writing is following the same principle.
hey great job i agreed with all the reviews
Thanks for looking :D
needs some kind of index. I recommend this site highly i went through the whole thing
Thanks so much. Which reviews did you enjoy the most? There is a history of all the blog posts on the right. I'm not sure if you can have a separate index page with Blogger though.
I dig the idea. You should italicize game titles, not use quotes. Also, scores? Bleah.
The Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath, a Napoleon: Total War AAR
For the Emperor!, a Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai AAR
Thanks for this, I was never really sure what to do with them, as you can most probably tell. And what's wrong with scores? It is the 90s, right?
Thanks so much, what a great comment to wake up to!
I did only one review and that one was for first Kane and Lynch when it came out. Here it is if you want to use it.

... I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake; I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am a Splinter Cell.
Thanks for the offer, but I think it's one or two words over my 100 word limit :p
Tis a nice idea and I think more reviews would benefit from a time played indicator but whilst I agree with the relative scoring on the majority, there are enough conclusions that differ quite radically from my own opinion.
I think there's a definite niche in our TLDR age for this concept. Already bookmarked and hope to make use of it for future Steam purchases.
Have you plugged this on the Steam forums yet?

Thanks for your comment. Any games you'd like to see us review? Yeah, I posted the same thing on the Steam forums yesterday evening and combined with this post the blog has received over 1000 views over the past ~18 hours, which I am amazed by.
