There are many ways to write about video games and many reasons to do so. Kotaku's own comic-creating duo, Cara Ellison and Elizabeth Simins, have their own several-panel suggestion for how to do it well.
Follow Ellison's writing on her blog. She's on Twitter, too, @carachan1. You can find more of Simins' art, much of it about video games, at Cargo Collective. She's on Twitter @elizsimins.
