Reviews of Commercial Games

Yes, I'm still a Macintosh person, so I prefer to play (and review) games that run on the Macintosh. However, I now own Virtual PC (an emulator), and a Playstation, and even -- honest, I barely use it -- a Windows box. So that range has increased some. The label "PC game" indicates a game which is available only for PCs.

If you have any suggestions for games I should play and review, feel free to email me. Of course I reserve the right to spend my money where I like. (Equally of course, if you give me a free game, I'll be happy to play it. Hey, it's happened before.)

I also have a page of quick takes -- one-paragraph comments on games that I never wrote full reviews of.
