Welcome to First Look Central!


The GameBoomers reviewers take an early peek at certain games, and in this forum you will find our first impressions of currently released and past adventures.

First Looks are not official reviews. Often they are written from the game’s beta version or from preview code. The game at that point is not finished – glitches haven’t all been worked out, sometimes cut scenes and voiceovers are missing, etc. Reinforcing their status as partial glimpses or first impressions, First Looks are usually posted in forum format, just like other discussions of upcoming adventures.

Each First Look is later followed up with an official GameBoomers review. As soon as a review is written, a link is posted to it in Review Central.
