work continues on game rec pdf. have switched to indesign and after (sorta) getting to a UI that is still deeply alien to me, it's definitely gonna speed the whole workflow up. here's the freshest taste of the project, Road Trip Adventure rules

seeing Fuel in the Related list is a trip; I never see that game mentioned anymore & never see it recommended ever, but it is 100% a fantastic game for dicking around by driving. I definitely didn't expect to feel that way twice in a row with the Tetris (CD-i) mention, whose soundtrack is my #1 Falling Asleep On A Plane/Train album. great page; I'm looking forward to the next one! 
(edit: to be clear I am not going to bat for Fuel as being a good game, lol)
a big thing for me in assembling the pages and the 'IF YOU LIKE...' stuff is not avoiding games that might be considered 'bad'. Fuel hits that in particular, a lot of the actual experience ISN'T good, isn't smooth, but that doesn't necessarily matter if it hits something interesting in the brain or fulfills a specific desire. i've got Disaster Report on the to-do list, for example, which is fucking jank as hell, stiff and awkward, but man, who gives a shit, it sticks in your brain far better than many much smoother, more polished titles.
such a good game. i have to get around to HG3 (PAL) and HG4 sometime. tho honestly i'm overdue to just revisit Road Trip.
Yes yes yes, love this game. The only open-world driving game that I will acknowledge.
I love the presentation of this! Reminds me of the hours upon hours I'd spend as a youth flipping through gaming magazines, reading as much as I could about games I'd never play. Honestly didn't even realize I missed that.
Also Road Trip Adventure sounds dope, I wanna play it
