Why our reviews take longer than most

We get emails asking why we haven't covered the latest hyped release yet. The honest answer is that we're still playing it. A first impression is not a review.

Racing games in particular need time. The starter car in Neon Dash Circuit feels sluggish; the game only reveals itself once faster vehicles unlock. Judging it after ten minutes would be unfair.

Strategy games are worse — you can't understand Iron Tide Command's systems until you've lost a few times and started thinking ahead. That takes days, not hours.

So we take the days. Fewer reviews, but ones we'd actually stand behind. If that means we're a week late to a trend, we can live with that.
