The summer draught is officially over and we finally have a good selection of games to look forward to! These past months sure went by fast, as if someone kept clicking the days away, thinking…

Hey gang! Sorry about the communication breakdown, I was sidelined with a tricky shoulder injury these past months. Fret not, it wasn’t anything painful or extravagant, but it sure was annoying. I still don’t have full range of motion and my left arm will look kinda funny for a bit longer, but I finally feel comfortable enough to type and even appear in front of the camera; after all, looking funny never stopped me before.
So, new content is imminent!
Don’t worry, the crew here at JRT is still hard at work with the latest episode, coming out next week. Still, we are multi-class nerds, so we also enjoy a fair share of comics… and when Ryan North made Dinosaur Comics‘ entire corpus available and Brad Friedman conjured a magical algorithm that automatically generates scripts, we couldn’t simply stand idly by.
So, after the break, we have assembled three DC strips out of six of these seemingly random scripts. They might appear a bit scatter-brained, but they are actually transcendently sensible, with high-brow subtext. They are, after all, powered by monkeys. Enjoy!
March, a month known around these parts as “the month of the thousand birthdays”, this year delivers a couple of the most gestated games in history. Spending a lot of time in development isn’t necessarily a good thing and it certainly strains the developer, as seems to be the case with…

Happy New Year everyone!
Wedged between an idyllic 2008 and a promising 2010, 2009 was a pretty mediocre year for videogames, especially since Modern Warfare 2 scared many interesting titles away from the holiday season. It’s finally behind as, and here are the games I’ll be looking forward to the most this first month of 2010!
The warmest of wishes for a miraculous Christmas for you & yours, from the cast & crew of JRT! Christmas is about having a merry ol’ time with those closest to your heart, and in many households, including my own, this always involves a little bit of gaming. It is also a time to strive for a kinder world, whether it’s by simply sporting a smile even when the traffic couldn’t possibly get any more jammed, or by contributing to charity organizations such as Child’s Play.
One of the hottest titles this holiday season and the biggest Shigeru Miyamoto release in a long while, I take a look at Nintendo‘s New Super Mario Bros. Wii for the Nintendo Wii.
Season One of JRT springs to life, as we revisit the timeless free-running lifestyle of vigilantes through a thorough review of Assassin’s Creed II. Featuring vengeance, flashbacks and atrocious accents.
