This weekly blog reviews the first hour, and only the first hour, of video games. It gives a minute by minute look at what is potentially a deal breaker for many games. If a game isn't fun during the initial hour, why should we expect the last 10 to 50 hours to be any different?
The First Hour updates every Monday with a new game review and sometimes an editorial. Please contact thefirsthour@gmail.com for comments and game suggestions.
