Collaborative Efforts
Created | Updated Jun 20, 2003
Welcome to another edition of Collaborative Efforts, the column dedicated to connecting you to the good, charitable people of h2g2 with a starving article that desperately needs your help.
Computer gamers can find a wealth of information on PC games, new and old, all over the web. Unfortunately, most of the information is put out by the companies who make them, or magazine writers who promise good reviews in exchange for free software.
At up to US$79 per game, players need a source of information that they can trust. Krunchy has taken it upon his/her/itself to provide this information at Computer Games. Krunchy has assembled a modest list of reviews on games people really like, such as Age of Empires II, Quake III, Starseige Tribes, Zork, Homeworld, and Return to Krondor. They may also be written by people you don't trust, but you'll be able to find them and yell at them for causing you to waste your money, which may in itself be worth your expense.
In the interest of evading favoritism and capitalist-pig type labels, I will not be including a requisite sample this week, although I have nothing against capitalist pigs. It's just that I'm withholding my endorsement until a more lucrative offer can be arranged.
The bottom line is, if you're looking for a good game, check it out. If you know of a really good game, post a review and let people know. And if you know of any hot girls that put out on the first date, just let me know. There's no need to bother anyone else with such frivolities. ;-)
