Welcome to 4X.Scope.
An extrapolation and open canvas on video games and all entailing media. Thoughts, reviews, the works; 4X.Scope zooms in on the important as well as niche gaming issues.
4X.Scope (four-by-scope) is written by Alex Connolly, an avid armchair reviewer and Australian expat.
The style of writing and reviewing that are contained within this blog try to separate the usual opinionated stance most bloggers feel obliged to use in favour of a more objective and comparative position. I was once dismissive of a comment that a blog is pure narcissism, but the more I read of a multitude of efforts – primarily Kotaku and other commercial sites – the more obvious the comment became. Therefore, articles and reviews refrain from using the first-person, and while attempting to be objective in reviewing a game or discussing its merits and flaws may seem counter-intuitive, it is more a mechanic to avoid the type of writing witnessed on a great many blogs out there. This is a blog that – more often than not – supports the underdog titles, titles themselves often the subject of snide critical reception or dismissal. In the age of Web 2.0 and the Me Generation, it is hard to separate valid critique and personal self-indulgent griping.
Hopefully, 4X.Scope fits the bill in terms of honest analysis of titles.
4X.Scope is technology-restricted to the PC platform, Playstation 3 and Sony PSP handheld system.
