Welcome to Common Sense Gamer, THE destination for game guides, news, codes and everything in between.
This is an independent gaming website where common sense writing and gaming analysis trumps the crazed fanboy-filled world of gaming blogs and video game journalism.
Follow Common Sense Gamer below!
Common Sense Gamer was launched back in 2017, initially as a hobby project and one-man show, delivering news and guides related to the gaming world, but with a focus on PC games.
Over the years, it evolved and grew tremendously, thanks to timely guides for the newest games, walkthroughs and basically everything you need for an amazing, stress-free gaming experience.
Since early 2024, Common Sense Gamer is once more a one-man passion project covering social computer and video games, maintained by a veteran gamer (myself – the “founder” below).
I was forced to downsize because of changes in search engine algorithm changes (thanks, Google!) BUT independent gaming journalism WILL prevail, and I am doing my best to keep it alive on this website here. If you read this, and especially if you’re a regular reader – thank you for your support and for the role you play in keeping independent journalism alive!
In the end, Common Sense Gamer is a blog written by gamers for gamers. And we promise not to drive you mad with useless propaganda, biased articles or clickbait titles.
Instead, we’re coming with a no-nonsense approach to video game journalism, always getting straight to the point and delivering content you want and love to read: articles that are useful and complete! That’s a promise!
The Common Sense Gamer Team
Calin Ciabai
Common Sense Gamer’s founder and current Editor in Chief. Having a bachelor’s degree in journalism since 2007, Calin’s entire career revolves around writing mostly about video games.
OK, enough with the third person crap! Since it’s just me trying to keep this blog alive, let me talk a bit about myself!
My work was featured on notable gaming websites and blogs, including Softpedia’s gaming division, Games.com (now AOL) and various other video gaming blogs.
I launched CommonSenseGamer in 2017 with the goal of making it your go-to destination for game guides and tutorials and, overall, the best gaming blog in the world.
I’ve been a gamer since his youth, when I started playing on a cassette-powered Home Computer ’84 and wasn’t able to stop since.
Yours truly playing Fallout 4, at home, on its launch day. Yes, big Fallout fan here!
I love playing RPGs and turn based strategies the most, although there’s no genre I will say no to. Unless it’s anything horror, because I’m a bitt of a wuss.
Even today, you’ll find me playing a good ol’ Heroes of Might and Magic 3 map or achieving world domination in Civilization 3, before jumping into a Fallout game or, why not, reliving great moments in Gothic I and II.

Thank you for visiting Common Sense Gamer – a website created by a hardcore gamer for gamers!
