I've reviewed a few visual novel/dating sim type games so far, and I've talked about The Sims here and there, but I've finally added an actual gaming category! If you're only here for the books, don't worry. This is not a big change. I'm still going to post mostly about books and reading. I would just also like to try posting a little bit more about games now that I'm interested in trying...

In a recent review I posted for a vampire book, I asked you all if you like otherworldly portrayals of vampires, vs. more human portrayals, and it seemed like a topic people have thoughts on. Well, I have thoughts on it too! And since one can never have too many posts about vampires, I figured it would make a good...
