'Beames on Games' is a regular sister blog to 'Beames on Film' written by the author of that blog, Robert Beames, aswell as his brother Chris. The aim of this blog is to give a serious look at the much-maligned art form of the video game. True, most games are crass and rubbish, but so are most films (or books or paintings etc etc). I will be aiming to review new games, look forward to games which are coming up and to write the occasional article on the medium in general. I will be aiming to do all of the above with an earnest respect for the medium.
