OgreCave

OgreCave is committed to the promotion of games, primarily non-computer, non-console games. Don't get us wrong: Halo 3, Little Big Planet, Tomb Raider, and the rest are loads of fun, and we've done our share of mashing buttons and fragging our friends. But computers have yet to fully capture the social aspect of getting friends together for a game... of Magic, and haven't even come close to what a tabletop role-playing game feels like. Traditional board games and RPGs were our first love. As long as the pen and paper games have something the PCs and PlayStations don't, we'll keep promoting them and playing them. And quite frankly, tabletop games need the extra press far more than PC or PS3 games. But we'll slip in a mention of our favorite console titles and flash games now and then, because, well, we're cross-training gamers. If it's fun, we'll play it. Our most important goal at OgreCave is to write everything we post with intelligence and humor. We promise to keep our readers informed of what the industry is up to, for better or worse. We won't limit ourselves to just board games, just card games, or just role-playing games: a game is a game, so if we can have fun playing it, we'll cover it. If we mention some cool console or cell phone games along the way, great, but we'll go out of our way to uncover the latest in tabletop gaming.
