July 4th

It’s my own fault. Last week I suggested a summer lethargy may have overtaken the games blogosphere, so naturally this week we’re swamped with cogent posts about all manner of games.
First is Dan Bruno at Cruise Elroy who has been playing Mass Effect, and who says, “I am not Shephard”, comparing the decision to record [...]

April 18th

Today’s This Week in Videogame Blogging contains slightly less than the usual crop of links to the best videogame criticism and writing of the week. I think it’s partly because we’ve reached the first real lull of the year in terms of releases. We’ve met and written about the onslaught of Bayonetta/Bad Company 2/ Bioshock [...]

PAX was the big thing to be at and be seen at this week, but it doesn’t seem to have slowed the critical game blogosphere. Neither has the onset of April and its attendant silly April fool’s day posts which we seem to have avoided – we present you with only the best pieces of [...]

As GDC wraps up and Ben heads on home, the reigns of TWIVGB will return to their rightful hands next week. Of course despite most of the big guns focus being firmly on GDC, there was still plenty to go around.
But, before we get into this week I have a few leftovers I missed from [...]

It’s a long way to Tipperary, it’s a long way to go. Mercifully closer is This Week in Videogame Blogging, which just happens to be right here.
Jenn Frank of Infinite Lives writes one of the best explications of the importance of feminist readings of videogames in ‘Videogame feminist of the decade; or, when “You” is [...]

December Supplemental

By Ben Abraham ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Due to holidays, travel and work commitments, I haven’t been present for much of the online goings-on of the past week or so. In lieu of a proper TWIVGB last week, here’s a mid-week supplemental edition with the caveat that I haven’t read or even necessarily checked to see that they’re all in English. We [...]

This Week In Videogame Blogging would like to acknowledge the useful contribution of everyone who’s been sending links to the critical distance twitter account. It’s been very helpful so please keep ‘em coming!
By the time I’d written last weeks post, a storm was already brewing regarding a certain Modern Warfare 2 viral PSA style video [...]

Another mammoth week for TWVIGB and games writing, so strap yourself in for a healthy dose of games criticism from this week plus some. We’ve also started syndicating TWIVGB to Game Set Watch and Gamasutra, so you can also catch us there from now on.
Last week Michael Abbott looked at the potential for simulation games [...]

Actually, last week got lost in the shuffle while being obscenely busy. So here it is, the first ever Last Few Week In Videogame Blogging (doesn't have the same ring to [...]
