Background reading:

We review video games. But rather than trying to be objective we offer a range of personal opinions from regular columnists.

We encourage each columnist to respond as personally as they can to the games they play. They focus on their unique experience - talking less about graphics and sound and more about how they felt playing it. This highlights their particular perspective as either a Family, Thinking, Specialist, Hobbyist or Artistic gamer.

This means that we often review a game from a variety of perspectives, and that we engage with them over a much longer period. Each writer reflects their thoughts on a game rather than ours. We like to think of ourselves as the antitheses of large corporate review sites.

Then finally there's Game People Calling on The Escapist.

What sort of gamer are you?

Our columnists each focus on a particular perspective and fall into one of the following types of gamers:
