Welcome one and all. It is my pleasure to be your guide today around the Gallery of Vidogame Blogging and Criticism from this week.  We have a bevy of word-pieces for you, so if you’ll just follow me through the gallery…
We start our tour at that weekly goldmine that is the PopMatters Moving Pixels blog. [...]

Seems everyone’s sick but me, so I will be taking control of Critical Distance this weekend to bring you TWIVGB. MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Kirk Hamilton has been on fire recently. We don’t often link to reviews, but Kirk’s piece on L.A. Noire at Kill Screen isn’t the normal consumer review and goes the extra mile in expressing the [...]

GDC is over and Ben is recovering from a hangover [Oh god I have no sense of balance - Ed.] so I’m picking this up for one more week. This is my actual one-year anniversary for starting to write TWIVGB.
Since Dragon Age 2 is being released next week, we start this round up with the bloggers [...]

I know it’s late this week, so let’s get right into it.
There are two video essays this week. Continuing his series examining Shadow of the Colossus and Ico, TheGameLocker published the third part this week. At the Escapist Daniel Floyd in his weekly video essay examines a single choice in Mass Effect 2, the implications [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ben is currently away, jetlagged and getting ready for GDC. Hello, my name is Eric and I will be you waiter tonight at This Week in Video Game Blogging. Here are the specials:
For starters we have a few new responses to Jesse Schell’s presentation that popped up this week, most notably Jim Rossignol from Rock, Paper [...]

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 [...]
