We have been pumping out game reviews for a variety of online platforms a year now. Most reviews are for graphic Flash based games but we also review non-graphic text based games. Currently we are starting to deliver mobile content in addition to the more traditional online content.

Genres we cover:
Tower Defense - This is a fairly new genre to the online community and it is exploding in popularity thanks to a handful of brilliant Flash developers. A quick look at Google Trends will tell you how far TD games have come in the last 2 years.

Strategy games - Most games that incorporate in depth resource management are alright in my book. I would love to see online economy sims start to gain steam.

RPGs - Potentially one of the better genres but it is hard to find something with decent character development. I think various action genres bleed into roleplaying games too much if you ask my opinion. The one action genre I would be happy to see in this area is FPS but that is an unrealistic expectation for the online arena. (at least for the time being)

Puzzle - A few years ago I used to be addicted to chess. I played a minimum of 2 hours per day and considered playing in competitive tournaments. I still love the game but for the time being I need to allocate too much time to web development to fit in my desired chess time. I always appreciate a good puzzle.

Text Adventure - Interactive fiction can be highly engaging. The text based Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Zork and The Oregon Trail are all brilliantly conceived games. I also used to read a lot of Choose your own Adventure books. (to the dismay of my teachers)

FPS - As implied previously first person shooters are the generally the only action games I care to play. I find Golden Eye and the Halo series particularly gripping. Yes, we do occasionally venture into the console world.

Tick Based Games - We don't have a lot of reviews on this genre mainly because a single tick based game like Utopia can consume months if not years of time. It is a respectable genre so we may look into it a little more in the coming year.

MUDs - This is another respectable genre but in most cases I would prefer to play a good text adventure. The main reason is most MUDs seem to have crappy user interfaces. It usually takes a while to learn the controls. I wonder if any have a comprehensive action library with the option to customize hot keys.
