[lock-on] Book Review
When I was young (and really, even as an adult in my early 20s) I wanted to write about games. Growing up in the mid-to-late 2000s, I was always reading gaming magazines that my parents would subscribe me to — specifically Game Informer. My love for the written word grew as I did and I always dreamt of having my byline on some big publications.
