There and Back Again...
by Jamin Smith on Sunday 22nd Nov 2009

Kia Ora! Those who peruse the pages of AppGamer.net on a regular basis (and are familiar with our staff and writers) may have noticed that I haven’t posted in some time. The reason for my lack of contribution is due to the fact I was off gallivanting across the globe in search of adventure and excitement. Proof below.

Travelling 1

Travelling 2

Thankfully, I didn’t lose touch with what was happening in the iWorld completely whilst I was gone. Armed with my trusty iPhone, I was able to catch up on all the latest news whenever I came across a WiFi hotspot. When the never ending coach, train and plane journeys started getting too much, I hit the App Store to stock up on new games to save me from inevitable death by boredom. The excellent geoDefense was the saviour of most of my travelling within Australia (I even managed to bash out a review while I was in Perth), and when Beneath a Steel Sky was released I couldn’t resist splashing out on a copy even though I had a promo code waiting for me in my inbox. I also played a fair bit of Craneballs studios latest title; 33rd Division, which is undeniably the most refined and enjoyable time management game the App Store currently has on offer.

I also need to take this opportunity to apologise to the (literally) hundreds of publishers and developers whose emails have gone un-answered whilst I’ve been gone. I'm back now however, and will endeavour to answer every email I receive hence-forth. So drop me a line!

Admittedly this hasn’t been the most interesting of blog posts, but my fingers have been itching to get back to the keyboard, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get back into the swing of things. Must be off now though, I have a mammoth pile of games to catch up on, and they're not going to play themselves.
