Janine "Iris" Hawkins Reviewing Games for Gamespot

In case you're wondering why Janine "Iris" Hawkins hasn't been writing much for New World Notes lately, there's a very good (and great) reason for that: She's now reviewing games for Gamespot, such as this one of Armello, a strategy game featuring furry warriors, which of course Janine writes about with her usual smart wit:

Armello picks and chooses a variety of elements from board, card, 4X, and role-playing games without demanding either a familiarity with or a fondness for any genre. It also leaves a lot of room to engage as deeply as you want with the game's guts without feeling like you're floundering if you don't. Whether you're bumbling your way to the top or playing all your cards right, Armello makes regicide ridiculously entertaining.

And that's on top of Janine contributing to the hugely popular Paste Magazine:

I always knew she was destined for bigger things in games, and hope to see her going even farther!
