Grand Theft Blogger
A nice clean looking blog, white background, small picture located at the top of a gun and some other indescribable objects. The overall look of the blog is pretty plain, but then I've never been one for much clutter so I liked it. Just looking at the blog before reading it gives the reader the impression that this might be a gun toting man who likes cars, but upon reading his profile, you find that he is totally the opposite!
After reading his profile, you find that Jesse is a 27 year old gamer, which basically means that he likes playing PC games. Again, this blog seems to be relatively new, there are only 81 entry's so not much content. The content that is there is somewhat entertaining. There are a few links that did make me laugh out. I'm not quite sure of the purpose behind Jesse's blogging, apart from his writing about things that catch his attention, from Ashlee Simpson to the Red Sox and even his thoughts on mobile versus land-line phones.
The entry's are well written and easy to read. The links work and overall there aren't too many links cluttering the blog's "look".
There isn't much in the blog itself to draw people into reading it daily or more, but I think that's something that will develop as the blog grows over time.

Grand Theft Blogger. The title borders on something between "catchy" and "stupid", but this blog is supposedly about video games, so I can let it go.
This blog is written by Jessie Lawrence, a 27 year old guy from Fremont, California. And his blog isn't bad, but it isn't great either. So let's talk about the 'why' question.
The design is blogger. The header graphic is custom, which is nice; but the content is what seems to be lacking. Jessie doesn't have any links to his archive pages from what I could tell, so I could only read his most recent posts. Some talked about his family, a few about gaming and the rest was personal opinion stuff. He has moments of comedy, but they are scarce.
Jessie talks about the death of his friend Angelo quite a bit; he was shot and no one has found the killer. Sad stuff. But the thing that is great about Jessie's posts is that they are usually short and sweet. He doesn't try to bog you down; he just writes what he has to say and nothing more. Done Deal.
I gave Grand Theft Blogger a 3.25 because of the lack of accessible content; also, it is marketed as being a blog about gaming, but I couldn't be totally convinced of that based on what I had to read. He's a good writer and I see great potential for this blog...but the things that I would like to see just aren't there yet.
