The Agonies of Choice

A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to play Ghost Stories for the first time. It was okay. I certainly enjoyed the few games I played although I'd say it has some question marks over its long term appeal. But for some obscure reason it triggered off a chain of thought in my head as regards the process of choosing, buying and playing new games. I'm not yet entirely convinced that all the steps in this particular chain are actually as directly connected as they look, squatting as they are right now in my head like stars in the firmament: hopefully by writing them down we'll see whether or not the dots join up. But in the meantime, be prepared for a possibly confusing ride.
