Game Reader is back after a long hiatus. Unfortunately, I am too busy to write op-eds or particularly long posts at the moment. For the time being you can expect updates that follow the original mission of this site: namely, to scour the web for the best and most thought-provoking gaming articles I can find.

The goal of this site has never been to provide a comprehensive portal of gaming news, reviews, and previews. If you want to discuss the merits of the latest DC Comics gaming adaptation there are plenty of other sites that will suit just fine. Indeed, one could argue that there are too many of these sites around–all covering the same ‘breaking news’ on the same games, at the same time, with the same kind of fanboy hyperbole. The goal of Game Reader is to cut through this clutter in order to highlight important and thought-provoking essays, reviews, and discussions taking place in serious gaming communities around the web. Eventually I want to get back to work on my own commentary and thus hopefully add to this ongoing conversation.

For now, however, I’ll be connecting you to intersting and important game reading from around the web. Since I look at dozens of articles a day, and don’t have time to post about all of them individually, I’ve decided to separate the site into 2 separate sections. The main section (which is the blog itself) covers articles and/or events that I consider especially interesting and strongly recommend you take a look at. The second section is at the bottom of the sites homepage, and is titled “Reading List.” These are worthwhile articles that I’ve shared via Google Reader account and is updated daily (usually more than once). Remember to follow me on Twitter for updates on both of these sections in addition to my Twitter-exclusive commentary.

Lastly, make sure to let me know what you think about the changes to the site!
