Comments

Maybe out in March anyway?
IIRC in the last batch of games they announced "for the holidays" (ie the Novadrome, Heavy Weapon etc releases), Roboblitz was released even though it wasn't on this list. I'm fully expecting either 2 releases on a couple days or games not in the "10".
Sweet Pictures

Good job on adding pictures. Improves the site no end.

Not sure if you heard the 1up Yours podcast a couple of weeks ago. Everyone knows Geo Wars 2 is happening, but Luke Smith reckons it's happenning "before the summer" (1Up Yous 19/01/2007 1h33min in).

BTW - could that mean PGR4 before the summer - doesn't sound likely..

Thanks man, always trying to

Thanks man, always trying to improve, with Hexx on board you'll certainly start seeing more and more improvements.

Also thanks for the heads up about GW2, I guess I didn't get that far in the podcast.
