I have yet to write a review of a game that I could have made myself (as opposed to, say, a game that I could have improved certain aspects of). But when that time comes, we shall see, I guess.

I usually just write a review from my perspective (ie, books as an author and a reader), but that means my reviews can be pretty tough. I'm more excited by a book that I like AND I couldn't have done myself. That's kind of unfair because, if I think 'I could have written that' then I'm less likely to give it a good review, even if it's good. Yeah, that’s a tough question.
