So I stumbled upon a game called Tin Star at a local game shop the other day. It was priced at $2.99. It sparked an idea for a gaming blog where I play and talk about games, retro or modern, priced at $5 or less and determine if the game is some kind of hidden gem or deserving of its place in the bargain bin. Thus, the Five Dollar Gamer was born. I have a blog hosted at Wordpress with one episode up, where I in fact review the game that inspired the blog and a Facebook page for it. fivedollargamer.wordpress.com/www.facebook.com/5dollargamerSo take a look, let me know what you think. I am willing to take suggestions for games too, despite the backlog of games I have plans to review. |

That's actually an interesting concept. I'm gonna rip you off.

Thanks for the feedback! I have another episode in the works. I'll be posting the links to the articles and previews to the FDG Facebook page first, so if you so choose, give it a like!

Just read through all of these, great stuff. Thank you! I really hope whoever reads these enjoys reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. I've discovered some really great games doing this. I've got Episode 11 up. Which looks at Tak: Great Juju Challenge on GameCube.I should have the next one, Urban Reign for PS2, up later this week. It's the best game I've played for the blog so far. |

Loving these. Some very odd and whacky games I have never heard of.

Hm. After giving your site a serious read over, I think you would do well to test out a shot at doing something in video format as well. It may feel like hopping into a "scene" since video reviews of games and movies all over the internet, but on the other hand that's the point. It can potentially spike your popularity and reach a wider audience (if you're good at that sort of thing).

It can potentially spike your popularity and reach a wider audience (if you're good at that sort of thing). I have actually been talking with a few friends about doing so, but it's just a matter of scheduling and finding ways of making it interesting. If I do a video I want it to be different and not boring. It would be too easy to do a Let's Play where I talk entirely too close to the microphone and say things like "This is Level 1. Hit the A button to jump on this guy." We've discussed doing something similar to Continue? or Game Grumps where instead of a Let's Play it's just 2 or 3 friends playing a game and having fun. But like I said, that's been done and I don't want to be an incredible rip-off. |
