The “Get To Know” line of articles are built to get a better impression of what I love/hate, and why, through a more direct means. While my tastes have been quite unconventional to the “norm” we’ve seen, I feel as if it’d be beneficial to run a series of articles that go into what I adore, and deplore, about gaming, and why.

I thought it’d be fun to release some random facts about my Top 25 Games of All-Time list. It will be a brief glimpse of the overall landscape of the list, without spoiling exactly what’s to come.
