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…
Another February, available in 2010 flavour, another JRT episode, available next week and another list of the month’s most promising videogame releases, available right after the break!
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 Assassin’s Creed II video is being encoded, for about the billionth time, as we speak, while all of us here at JRT are already hard at work for the next instalment. Things will hopefully go to plan for once, now that advertising is kicking in and the site actually gets traffic.
Speaking of which, if you are a new visitor, you might want to first check the lighter, more “newcomer-friendly” JRT episodes, Punch-Out!! & Monkey Island SE. Of course, we also have the epic, 5-part, Metal Gear Solid 4 review/playthrough, but its terrifying length & troubling sound means it’s probably best left for last.
Also, under the break follows a list of new releases most likely to help us have a fantastic December!
While it may seem like I’m dropping the ball, I assure you we are tirelessly working behind the scenes to get the site up to speed and to make sure there is a steady flow of content for you to enjoy when the first ever official season of JRT starts, late November.
I feel it’s wiser to build up a buffer for a while and then release new reviews every couple of weeks at worst, rather than keeping up the current rate of one video per month, at best.
Meanwhile, feel free to be distracted by my list of promising games coming out this month!
September flew by, thanks to things like making an unplanned trip abroad, but we have reviews on the back-burner and it’s time to take a look at this month’s most intriguing releases!
The next video review is being uploaded as I’m writing this, so we’ll soon find out if the third time is indeed a charm. Meanwhile, I can tell by the gleam in your eyes that you might be looking for something more…
