Writing Samples

Here you will find my writing samples. Including blog articles, game reviews, and how to guides.

Blog Articles and News Stories:

Digital Journal Articles for E3 2015

This is a link to my Digital Journal page which lists the articles that I wrote for them.

Are Game Reviews Paid For?

In this example, I write about the skepticism gamers have toward game reviews and why it exists. To do so, I researched what caused the issue, what was being done about it, and how the community felt about it.

Micro-Transactions in Video Games

In this article I took a current hot topic in a certain community and explained why it was causing such an uproar in that community. To do so, I researched what caused the issue, what was being done about it, and how the community felt about it.

Overcoming My Worst Gaming Habit

This is an example of a typical blog post. More of a personality and point of view style article that focuses on a personal problem and how to overcome it.

How-To Guides:

Build a Hearthstone Deck in Three Easy Steps!

I wrote this article for a class but really it was for a friend of mine who was struggling in a game and wanted me to help him. So, I split the entire process into three easy to follow steps and laid it out with illustrations to help.

How to Look Like a Super Hero

This was written with the intent of motivating not only myself but my friends as well. In the article I provide links to a spreadsheet I also developed to help track the workouts and the overall progress from doing the workouts.

Game Reviews:

Middle-earth: Shadow of War Review

This is an article I wrote on a volunteer basis for a website. It is a fully fleshed out game review complete with a star-based rating system and sub-categories. To do this I had to take a critical look at a video game and dig into what worked and didn’t work for it.
