Site News

Too much of a good thing always has its eventual consequence, no matter how you shake it. A lifetime supply of a favourite food will either prove exhaustive within a month, or turn you fat over years. Everything requires balance.

I have the opportunity, owed to some consistent work on this site, to get many games without the need to consistently pinch for pennies. And, on one hand, that means my one man show can roll out the content carpet often. But, on the other, it rests entirely on my will to plough through and review each one to its fullest extent.

‘Tis the season, says Soviet Santa. Expect those reviews within the next few weeks. And while you’re bored, check out our twitter for artefacts from the internet, among other things: twitter.com/OnlytheGames

When folks versed in their good book go out to preach the word, they don’t want to hear about a different book that you might adhere to. Tell the gallivanting doorbell sermon that you’d like to discuss the nature of their beliefs and yours – rather than them telling you how unquestionably right they are –  the look on their faces will then turn from being bright as the Sunday afternoon, to harsh as a wicked storm.

Now, plenty of gamers subscribe to their games as resolutely as the millions enamoured with their untouchable beliefs, and if you show an inkling of opening discussion over that which they love religiously, the diatribe is heated, quick, and cruel. But rarely is the scorn against your words. Rather, it will probably be against the number by which you sum your praise and criticism of the game. Continue »

Hello all!

Usman Ihtsham here from WhatIfGaming. Need no introduction, but I’m a nice guy: so I give it anyways.

Welcome to the new wave of the domination of our mascot: the O Commander. This site has been up for a good two years now, and it’s ready to stretch beyond it’s bounds and the mascot is ready to rip through the gaming curtain.

The entire site has been designed by yours truly in a timely fashion all for O Commander here at OnlyTheGames.com and Erik Rapson of course. And now a message from the O Commander himself:

Greetings Gamerlings. We are a site that simplifies and focuses the world of gaming; look elsewhere for sales news, quarterly earnings and buyouts because here we select our stories with the gamer and the gaming community in mind. Our name is our philosophy.

Does anyone else have tears in their eyes?

Welcome to a new relaunched version of OnlyTheGames!

Jump for changes. Erik, this also means you!

As you might have noticed, content has been sluggish lately. Though fear not, we are working on changes to the overall look and layout of the site. The goal is to clean things up and make it easier to view content, plus all sorts of back end stuff that would bore you senseless.

A splash maintenance page will be going up soon and will be there until this site is looking like it should. Several reviews are being worked on concurrently, some of which will be posted when we’re back in business.
