99 Lives

Welcome to Nintendo Thumb, lovingly titled after the term used to describe swelling in the thumb associated with excessive video game playing. My name is Charles Awad, and I will be the main contributor to this forum. I created this blog as a token of my adulation for video games, past and present. I have been lucky enough to grow alongside the evolution of this industry and have had many experiences, good and otherwise, that I have shared with lonely store merchants and impatient friends (sound familiar?). With that in mind, I will use this forum to articulate my many opinionations, ranging from reviews of next-gen and handheld titles as well as editorial content regarding the state of the industry. I am fascinated by the effects of gaming on our culture and the direction we are heading. Along with me, I will have several editorial contributors and we may choose to eventually offer news items as well. Enjoy your stay..
