Games In A Nutshell

There are a lot of games out there – all of them with stories and details and all that sort of thing. Sometimes that’s just too much. Sometimes you just need to seperate the wheat from the chaff, to get to the nitty-gritty, to cut through the flim-flam. Sometimes you just need Games In A Nutshell – everything you need to know in ten words or less.
