Closure issues

I have a problem.

H

ello, my name is David Hollingworth, and I

have a problem. I have been playing games for

over 35 years now, but recently... Dammit, I can’t

finish a damn one!

I still love games — I couldn’t do this job if I

didn’t. I love the people who make them, I love the

stories they tell, and I love being a part of opening

up that process to the people who play them. But

heck — the older I get, the harder it is to stick

with them.

So why? Well, it’s all about time, really. Both a

growing lack of it as life generally trends towards

a more complex state (until it starts trending back

to child-like simplicity, and then, uh, kinda stops),

and the growing amount of it that it takes to finish

a big AAA game these days. Maybe I should chat

to Meghann about some nice, perfectly formed yet

short indie games to play in my lunchbreak?

YOUR GUIDE TO PC GAMES

SCORING SYSTEM | PCPP scores its games

on a 1 to 10 scale. The higher, the better –

though 10 is by no means a “perfect” game.

We’re not convinced such a thing exists, so

consider a 10 a masterpiece of PC gaming,

despite its inevitable flaws. A 5 is a decidedly

average game; one that doesn’t excel in any

particular area, without being an affront to our

senses – the ultimate in mediocrity. Below this,

you’ll start to find the games our reviewers

suffered an aneurysm getting through; above it,

the titles truly worth your time and money. And

remember: a score is only a vague indication

of quality. Always read the full review for the

definitive opinion!
