Press and Reviews Thread

I mean places that I visit which have a games section, along with major sites like Gamespot, IGN, etc.

Don't want to spam the sites hard or people will get pissed off, just a brief mention along the lines of "have you tried this, looks great, only released today" then let people get on with it as it (hopefully) spreads by word of mouth.

Yeah, I know you know that. Why not drum up some controversial interest by saying that one of the main ships looks like a cock and balls?
Get it mentioned in the Daily Mail - that'll boost sales!

If controversy were needed then publicity could probably be generated around the, erm, 'alleged' beta tester who experienced a physical orgasm on one of the phaal levels.

It might be better, however, not to write about that.

Actaully all the ones you mentioned here I think already been contacted and a Press Package been sent to them

Fair enough, but I thought a bit of forum chatter wouldn't go amiss either.

To be fair I don't really know those places and I am registered to one forum only, YY .. we rely on "word of mouth" for getting
into other forums

Well I've posted a thread @ NTSC-UK, have always been Minter fans there.

I noticed that the new EDGE magazine apparently has a featured article with Yak, according to this thread on Neogaf.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375218

Looks like its called "An audience with Jeff Minter". Anyone know what this is about, or has anyone read it? Perhaps Yak even has a version of the article he could post here
