Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We pick games that interest us, usually because they do something clever with strategy or defence mechanics. There's no schedule tied to releases and no publisher deciding for us. If a game looks worth a few evenings, someone on the team plays it properly before writing.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. We don't accept payment for coverage or for higher scores, and we never will. Our ratings are just our honest opinions after real playtime, which is the whole point of the site.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Send us the name and a line about why you think it's interesting via our contact email. We can't promise to cover everything, but good recommendations often make it onto our list, like Casinacho Games did.

Is there advertising on the site?

We keep the site simple and don't run intrusive ad networks. If that ever changes we'll be upfront about it. Our focus is readable reviews, not filling the page with banners.
