I think this is a great concept.  I have this library of games going back to 1985 or so and always enjoy adding to it with other classics I missed (of which there were many).

Not to mention, no one else is doing it so why the hell not?  In depth reviews of games are always interesting to me, even if I end up not caring about the game at all.

Also, I'm jaded, which is related.  I can watch a sitcom made in this millenium and spot gags and setups that I saw on The Honeymooners.  What many people would term "formula", the stuff that was standardized by Ricky, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel.
As far as I am concerned, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and The Honeymooners gave us 98% of the sit-com themes we have today.  I can't be bothered to watch most of them anymore just because I feel like I have seen most of it before.

I find my attention span has shrunk lately. If a game doesn't keep me constantly entertained I put it aside and move on to the next one. It's really weird. It's like I grew up and got ADHD or something. I haven't played Rogue Galaxy in like 2 weeks because of this. And I stopped halfway through Xenosaga 2 a while back for the same reason.

I find the same thing. I think in my own case it's also partly because now as a game-playing adult with more money than disposable time I am too spoiled for choice. The fact that I also have multiple non-gaming interests/hobbies also impacts this as well.

As for the article/review series. Hell yes.
