I just binge-updated the curated games list. All have a micro-review to go with them. I now plan to carefully work my way through some selected favourites (which will probably involve replaying a lot of them) and giving them some full reviews on Steam.

Have a look at the new list. I have tried to be selective over what I have added. Basically if it already has over 5000 reviews, with some notable exceptions, I have not added it as I feel this curation is for less mainstream games, so hopefully there will be quite a few there you will not have heard/thought of before.

Someone on the internet once asked me what my favourite games were. After I told them, they thought for a moment then declared me to be a 'video games hipster'.

I was of course insulted, I am not a hipster (just what a hipster would say) but when I looked at the list I had given them I had to admit they had a point. I might not be a hipster but I suppose I have to admit I might be a "video games hipster".

I have decided to elaborate on that list here. If you ever need to sound like an elitist when talking about computer games I hope these recommendations help you.
