Harry Balls Media publishes HarryBalls.com, a seriously irreverent game download and news site offering video game news, funny game character interviews, dashes of parody and reviews of downloadable games written by people who love playing and writing about video games. We review many genres of downloadable games: Puzzle, Action, Arcade, Time Management, Match 3, Puzzle, Seek N Find, Hidden Object, Logic, Simulation, Chess, Adventure, Ambient, Arcade, Breakout, Retro, indie, Funny, Kids, Mac, Mystery, PC, Platform, Racing, Role Playing, Shooter, Soccer, Sports, Visual Novels and Windows games. We limit our reviews to games North American consumers can buy or download try before you buy versions. In other words if you sell a retail version of your game in Europe but consumers in North America cannot buy it digitally we will not review your game.
Our game reviewers download and play the games for the duration of the trial period or demo of the games. They rate the downloadable games weighing the following factors: game play, graphics, sound, creativity and innovation to determine whether or not they would buy the games based on the trial/demo game experience. Regardless of the final rating our game reviewers give three reasons to buy the games and three reasons not to buy the games.
Character Interview Guidelines
We will only interview characters who appear in games consumers have to pay for rather than free games. We will publish one character interview per week. You can view the interview with Kei from Virtual Villagers 5 here. Characters, like everyone else, have to earn a living. :O)
