Respectfully, I'm asking you to play only games that you will review. You want content and information to be fruitful! Remember, you are doing “research,” not just trying to burn time b/c you are bored.

This is how the game reviews work. I've suggested a game a day, but feel free to review as many games as you'd want. This is done ONLY after you've finished Lab work OR during your own time.

It's simple, reviews require the following:

• One sentence (or more) of thoughts
• Screen shot of game
• Link to the game

GAME REVIEWS ARE BLOG POSTS!!!..NOT PAGES
