I've just seen the following post by Paul Farley (MD of TAG Games, the team behind Car Jack Streets)
k so I was cutting the grass at home and had a thought just now... we have a lot of buzz around Car Jack Streets and really its great how iPhone gamers are so passionate about their games plus it occurs to me that GTA: Chinatown Wars has been in the news this week because their inital sales have been below expectations...
now wouldn't it be amazing if without any expensive TV, press or radio advertising Car Jack outsold GTA? I don't know if there are enough iPhone gamers out there to make that possible but my gut feeling is it could happen and that would be awesome for us (and indirectly for you because you'll get even better updates, sequels and we might actually be able to finish Astro Ranch this century!)
so I'm wondering if there are any volunteers out there that want to test the power of TouchArcade/viral marketing? Don't think we need many - maybe 25 or so to get things kicked off. I have an idea that could get Car Jack in front of a huge number of iPhone gamers (even the casual ones that dont read this site!) in the next couple of days and for no expense (is good because we are skint!) and for very little work.
Want to potentially be apart of videogaming marketing history and take part in our little experiment? If so email me at carjackstreets@tag-games.com with MARKETING EXPERIMENT in the subject line in the next 12 hours and I'll send out my idea and we can take it from there.
If nothing else it will relieve some of the boredom while we wait for approval!
Cheers

Wow way to be mysterious to the absolute max there Paul. Goddamn I must know what you're up to!
