About
You’ve seen it before. A buddy brings home his latest title from the store, prattling on about how it’s the best thing ever and you just have to try it, even though you hate that particular style of game. Well, you’re somehow convinced, and after trying it, you’re also convinced that your supposed ‘friend’ must have been drinking heavily when he played the game– and what he was drinking wasn’t Kool-aid.
We feel your pain. And we’re here to help.
The Unbelievers is a project that begins with a simple concept: a gamer takes a game or genre he or she traditionally loathes, and plays it for a fixed amount of time; all the while, he or she reports on what, if anything, the game is doing to win him/her over or reinforce his/her initial impressions. The goal of the project is to create fair game reviews by being blatantly unfair. Hopefully along the way we also manage to be funny.
Comments are welcomed, encouraged, and actually begged for; they provide us with lots more cannon fod– er, I mean, material for us to make our judgements by.
We also welcome recommendations of games for us to tackle in future sessions. Granted, we’re more likely to tackle the review if you grease us with copies of the game in question, but heaven forbid we risk impinging upon our journalistic integrity by asking for a bribe. Goodness no, we’re so far above such behavior that we wrap around until it’s not beneath us.
You will get offended reading this site. Doubly so if you are a fanboy. Shut up and take your medicine.
The Unbelievers. Because “fair and balanced” game reviews belong with the rest of the garbage.
