Masthead
We put all new applicants through their paces.
Toronto Thumbs is a gaming news site that takes gaming seriously. We aim to make people think, laugh, and feel what we feel via our detailed and often personal recollections of gaming experiences. Sincerity, therefore, is a huge facet of our approach to video game journalism. Our team of writers is comprised of seasoned (but not jaded) gamers from various walks of life. We are dedicated to discussing and deconstructing what works and what doesn’t in gaming without hiding behind irony or facetiousness.
As fans of video gaming, we see that video game journalism has come a long way but also realize there is still much to accomplish. We will never just cut and paste from press releases for the sake of reporting breaking news because our readers expect and deserve more than that.
Another aim of Toronto Thumbs is to talk about and generate interest in games that might be overlooked by the general gaming public. Our article topics aren’t restricted to just current-generation games, however. We cover games for classic consoles, tabletop and board games, and browser-based games. Because gamers are interested in more than just games, we also occasionally cover other forms of entertainment (such as music, movies, and gadgets).
