Writing about games

“Bow, Nigger”


This was an article written about Jedi Knight II by Ian Shanahan. In his review of this game, Shanahan concentrates on his feelings while playing. He writes in a personal style describing events and reactions in a story type way. There is hardly any actual discussion about the aspects of gameplay such as the interface, but rather he concentrates on how his experience of the game and his interaction with the other on-line player made him feel.
