Vigigames.com - I guess I'm doing this

<< < (2/3) > >>

David_Dovey:
Yeah the first thing that struck me was how good the site looked. I like that. The articles are for the most part pretty short though, which I found surprising. Is that something that is likely to change as you guys get into it more?

Anyway I don't care enough about video games to follow any site closely, but I imagine that if I did care about video games, this is the kind of site I would read.

EDIT: come to think of it I am not entirely sure longer articles would be a good thing, I was just expecting some serious screeds based on the description you gave and article titles like "Utilizing Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences to understand videogaming", and I was shocked when a lot of the articles were just a handful of paragraphs, instead of multi-page affairs in the vein of OverthinkingIt.com. I tend to gloss over their articles, though, whereas in the few pieces on Vigigames I've read so far, I haven't yet become disinterested with the writing and started to speed-read.

kemon:
well the short articles are probably a pretty good idea for the type of people who would read the articles on this sort of site.  it works for destructoid and that's the site i use the most.

Ozymandias:
Man, I've been waiting for someone to make a website about video games. Big untapped market.

But no, yeah, it looks really good. I've read a few of the articles and they're better than standard vidyagame articles and blog posts. Except for the Final Fantasy one.

Alex C:
Yeah, gotta keep a lid on articles that basically scream "I'mna spew some shit out there about old games and then people will disagree with me. Also, I'm going to give each game a rating based on criteria known only to me." It just doesn't fit with the other stuff that's on the site at all and seems a li'l indulgent. Ya'll are better than that; I liked plenty of this Matt guy's other articles.

Sox:
I agree with Jordan and Alex. Good stuff, lots of promise, but that Final Fantasy article blows.
