Here, as an opening post, is link to a review of Bastion that I wrote for GodisaGeek.com

I loved Bastion’s narration system and was amazed by the affect that this narrative mechanic had on the gameplay. Every action carried so much more weight, with every decision going down in an ethereal ledger. It made me limit the amount of re-treading my steps that I did, made me think about how I wanted to conduct myself in battle (should I run away, should I kill every last enemy etc) and also made me commit to my actions. Incredibly simple, yet profoundly powerful.
Not every post here will be a link, that is a guarantee, but I wanted to get the blog started and show how I think about games.
