[GameSetLinks is GameSetWatch's daily link round-up post, culling from hundreds of weblogs and outlets to compile the most interesting longform writing, links, and criticism on the art and culture of video games.]
How about those links, then? This time, we begin the regular GameSetLinks round-up with a look at a conference that’s made just for those DM-ing pen and paper games – actually a rather compelling idea.
Also in here – a discussion of the PSN title Blue Toad Murder Files, which is a really different approach, I think, plus Henry Hatsworth and self-improvement, a close look at the underexposed Trash Panic (and not ‘Tash Panic’, as I just typed, although I like the sound of a facial hair fear simulator), and more besides.
Gotta gotta go:

Haven't seen much analysis of this game, which is genuinely interesting.
Digital Foundry/Eurogamer – 'Media Manipulation: the "Bullshot" phenomenon'
Less the 'bullshot' that's made up than up-res-ed screenshots, an excellent and precise article.
Crispy Gamer | Postmortem: Wolfenstein
Less of a postmortem than an 'I disagree with Crispy's official review and wanted to talk about it', but very readable.
