Ok, if you're one of the poor saps who doesn't pay attention to our twitter updates over there on the sidebar, well first off you should kill yourself promptly, then you should go read our interview at xblaratings.com. Then ask yourself, are we not the greatest interviewees ever? The answer is yes, yes we are. The interview covers stuff like Avatar Showdown conceptualization, strategies, hype-bait for Unstoppable, and obese women with diarrhea & extremely heavy menstrual cycles.

Next up, our biggest splash in the press was here on Kotaku (probably the most popular gaming blog in the world). Yours truly had the genius idea to include their chief editor in the game, with a quote from that hilarious Brian Crecente spoof video.

And The Sixth Axis posted the trailer, admitted it's awesome stuff. Speaking of which, I think we may have created the most black or white trailer of all time. Some say it sucks, while others say it's the best trailer ever, better than the game itself, or even the only reason they bought the game. So that's good.

Now on to the reviews. Most of them are pretty negative, basically because the game is so simple. But hey, all that matters is that WE like the game, right guys? ...guys?

The Reviews

This one had a good quote:

"Avatar Showdown, from JForce Games, is a fighting game that allows you to use your customized avatar and knock out various celebrities. Punch out people like Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator, Mario, and so much more. Get good enough at knocking them out and you could find yourself in a one on one showdown with Chuck Norris himself. I kid you not. If your somehow able to get past him, you'll end up in the most epic showdown of all time and it's not Beyonce. I won't spoil the details, but I'll tell you that you must see it to believe it."

Oh and GayGamer didn't like the game. I guess it wasn't gay enough for 'em?

Also, good 'ol Paul Eres told me he's going to write a review on TIGSource, so I'll add that here at the top when he does.

Anyway, funny interview though yeah?
