A little bit of this and not so much of that

The blogs I write about almost always have a specific niche, whether it be technology, videogames, or even saving money in daily life. Not often enough to do I write about those simple blogs whose only goal is to entertain the reader with stories and images, a concept from the webdays of old.

This is because not often enough are there even good blogs to write about with this sort of premise. They're usually either so wild and unruly, or entirely uninteresting, that I can't see any reason to post them on my blog for featuring.

icycooL's: Revisited

Almost three months ago, I reviewed a blog that was, at the time, new and upcoming that goes by the name icycooL's. The blog writer, the eponymous icycooL, is a close friend of mine outside of the blogosphere, and when he created his blog, I felt that I definitely needed to let people know about it. If you don't quite remember how the blog went, here is a bit of a refresher:

"Today's blog spotlight gets shined down upon icycooL's, a gaming blog that is set to feature reviews, rants, and whatnot about the gaming industry. It's fairly new, but the first post is definitely a promising read if games are your thing (even more so if you're a fan of Mass Effect or their developer, BioWare)."

 The blog has been running strong since, and there are quite a few new quality posts about the latest and greatest in the videogaming industry. Game on at icycooL's!

That VideoGame Blog

This week on Blogographer, from Monday, August 8th to Friday, August 12th, is Gamer Week. The next three posts for the entire week will be focused on blogs that are video game relevant. They will be fairly popular blogs, but my hopes is that I will diversify your source for video game news and information by introducing a blog or two you may not recognize from the list.
Today's blog is That VideoGame Blog, a very nice game blog. While it's not really as well known as the other two blogs are and doesn't have a cult fan following like some blogs, That VideoGame Blog is actually quite nice and deserve the views.

What's so nice about this blog? First off, check out the simple but very useful layout of the blog -- the posts are in vertical order, and are simple titles with a short sentence or two of summary. It's really quite nice to be able to scroll through these posts so easily and find want I am looking for in a gaming blog!

Want to check out this simply amazing blog? Then check out That VideoGame Blog!

Gamer Week on Blogographer!

Keep an eye peeled for the posts. ;D

icycooL's

Today's blog spotlight gets shined down upon icycooL's, a gaming blog that is set to feature reviews, rants, and whatnot about the gaming industry. It's fairly new, but the first post is definitely a promising read if games are your thing (even more so if you're a fan of Mass Effect or their developer, BioWare).

You'll find the style of his game reviews refreshing (one might say it's icy cool), as there's very little of the elitist attitude that follows the lines of 'all games suck, but there's some that suck less than others.' He also doesn't tout the popularity of a game as a strong point, like most game magazines do. Honestly, how often do you open GameInformer or some other game magazine just to see that the new Call of Duty or big-name game got a 10 or 9.5, while the others got medium scores?

If you're looking for a good blog to follow, icycooL's definitely has some promise! Check it out, he's even on my blogroll. ;D
