Short Sharp Shock

Eureka! I think I've just discovered the perfect game review format for Today's busy, confident, man-about-town.

Reviews Constructed Entirely From Official Forum Thread Titles (RCEFOFTTs for short) mean reviewers get to spend more time loafing, and readers get to spend less time wading through tedious personal anecdotes. It's a win-win situation.

Here, as proof of concept, is a RCEFOFTT for Battlefront's new 3D wargame Combat Mission: Shock Force.

Read. Learn. Enjoy. The future of games criticism starts here.
