    Are you aware of Gregory (Str8Games)'s store located in Sovereign center downstairs (where the LIME store used to be)?
    Personally, I believe there should be some light shed on this store as it should be supported by TechJamaica.
    This establishment cuts out the middleman, thus getting games cheaper for us without any ridiculous markup.

    In my opinion, the show is "alright", but it its usually reviewing games that I've already downloaded (through online purchase), played and completed. Hence I don't feel enthused to sit and watch someone else's reviews since I already completed the game and arrived at my own conclusion.

    So basically they are not reviewing fast enough?

    Agreed. They seem to review mostly first person shooters as opposed to the racing games that I also like alot as well.
    I wouldn't mind if they reviewed current or pre-released games so that I have something to look forward to seeing.

    Well that is where it is good to have a team, some people just like certain genre games and they don't enjoy or wouldn't give another genre the light of day. This is when it is good to have a reviewer who play multiple genre or just get different reviewers targeting specific genres.

    I can't afford to add the G4 TV channel to my existing cable package, hence the reason why I sometimes resort to watching what's available locally to get a feel of what's out there. But to tell the truth, I find that I spend more time playing games on my iPad than any other console (out of convenience, such as when I'm at the doctor's office or waiting at the airport).

    i saw the show going on a few times...its alright, kinda boring, i think the presenters lack passion in what hes doing..hes just reading the review thats it. Interms of the games reviews not coming out soon enough,remember this is jamaica and it takes us a while to get it and review, in established gaming communities the reviews would get some games earlier to review
