Awesome. I'm following the feed. What will ultimately make it available for non-group members to see it? Even though I'm a member of the OO group, I couldn't pull it up in any of the curator search boxes. Assuming non-members can't see it at all (yet?).
Interesting group of games in the first 10 write-ups.

We should be listed now but we won't float to the top much until we get a lot of followers.

Glad you thought so. Since I didn't want to wait for ten new submissions, after I had a few I went digging for some reviews from OOers I thought would be interesting for it's own sake.
I would bet just about anything no one could guess the reviewers selected before looking. No way, no how!

As I said before, Rip was just picking off of my list to get us to curator status. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if someone wants to contribute a full review of Warlock (1 or 2) or Civ 5 instead of my short recommendations. If you guys want me to beef up the reviews of The Cave or The Cat Lady, I will, but I'm not attempting full reviews of the strategy games.
Did we strip down to 10? How do you people feel about casual games? Could we recommend something like Dead Man's Draw?
I just wrote one for "Dungeon of the Endless", also available to use. Thought that might be a nice representative game, since it has a pretty large following here.
Please do not feel like you have to use the review I just posted for Mind: Path to Thalamus (or The Book of Unwritten Tales). If you use my recommendations disproportionately, it will look like we prefer adventures. Feel free to pick and choose. I just felt like doing a more complete review for this one.
I don't really know where to put this comment, but I think it's interesting that Steam has changed their review policy so that, as always, you can write reviews if you didn't get the game as a direct purchase from Steam (e.g. you entered the key from a bundle site), BUT the review no longer counts in the score that is displayed. They had to go back and make it easier for customers to view the reviews written by people who didn't directly purchase, but...
Each game's score will continue to be calculated based only on customers that purchased the game via Steam.
Oh well. I looked for one and didn't look far enough down. I guess I wanted an excuse to bump this thread anyway since this idea of OO as curator didn't really take off.
I haven't said much because my little reviews tend to be of adventure and puzzle games, so it isn't exactly a cross-section of what people here would want included.
