Essential Playing
I’m starting a new page titled “Essential Playing.” This is the beginning of creating a crash course on points where games and news meet.
I’ve started with a handful of links, but I’m hoping this will evolve into a useful list for newbies and veterans alike. I’ve toyed with the idea of creating a type of a game rating system as well, but I’m afraid of the apples to oranges nature of the products as well as the innacurate nature of ratings systems. However, as the list grows to include more than “must play” material, we’ll need some type of indicator for what’s worth your time and what’s worth just knowing about.
To kick things off, I’ve included three games, a game about games, and a place for a constant stream of new game ideas.

I’m glad you finally linked to some games to try. To be honest, the first I heard of the whole newsgame idea was when you started this blog so I’m anxious to see what it’s all about.
