1 Up Games is a new gaming blog focused on reviews and opinion pieces.

We could post an endless barrage of news stories but there are literally hundreds of sites dedicated to gaming news and trying to compete with them all is pointless. So instead what this site will be is a place for opinion pieces like Microsoft buys Activision. So What Happens Now? and The PS5 Slim is a rip-off.

There will also be reviews of games both old and new. Our Mini Review series will focus on older games like Gran Turismo while new games (and select older titles) will be treated with full length reviews like our recent Forza Motorsport review.

So if you’re interested in games both old and new then 1 Up Games is the place for you.

Our plans for the future

The current site is a free WordPress blog however once the site starts attracting a healthy number of visits the plan is to move to a paid for hosting plan and a massively upgraded site. It’s at this point (if it happens) that you will see more regular news stories on the site and maybe even a social media presence outside of Lemmy.

Can you help?

This is my first real writing project. I enjoy writing and I especially enjoy writing about games.

However I am not an experienced writer which I’m sure you’ve already noticed. So I’m asking for your help. If you have any feedback, pointers, criticisms or anything else about the blog or the actual writing then please let me know either in the comments or sending me a message or leaving a comment of the article in question.
