    Great idea JCho, and seeing as I tend to like similar games to yourself I look forward to seeing what you think of the week's new releases.

    I nearly missed out on Bardbarian had it not been for TA GOTW (as I was playing too much Shadow Blade), so hoping you also bring some great indie games to our attention.

    Good luck #

    To my knowledge, Delaware doesn't pay sales tax on anything (those bastards!). When I used to live in Pennsylvania, many people would go there just to stock up on booze or buy that big screen TV. As far as changing your iTunes account to Delaware, seeing that my uncle was a big time IRS criminal division head honcho, not sure if I can condone tax evasion (but I won't tell ;) ).

    Nice thread JCho. Would be cool but get unruly if some of the other respected members had their "featured" apps of the week (Exact-Psience, undeadcow, The Frost, Bronxsta....and many others whose opinions I trust around here).

    Got me thinking. A suggestion: could we make (or convert this one if you're onboard JCho) a "TA Forums Recommends" thread? Posters would use the established post format and this way others such as members Awp mentioned could participate as well

    But hey this is your thing, JCho. Don't want to encroach on it

    NO! NEVER! ITS MINE!

    That's actually a really good idea. That way if there's someone looking to buy a new game they can go to that a sift through it and see if they find a game that fits them.

    I think we should think about it a bit more, and try and figure out how make sure it's not just like any other thread about apps. That may mean some strict rules, because I would like to see something civilized and tranquil that does just that.

    I think I'll still continue this thread even if that is something that's created. I quite enjoy it. I'll make a discussion thread where we can talk about it without filling this thread up

    But yes, it would have to be legitimately different enough from the what should I get thread

    I think we should let JCho have this thread, I'm satisfied totally polluting every other thread here with my irrelevant opinions. There's already a totally open User Review subforum along with the "What Should I Get?" recommendations thread, and the GOTW thread to discuss new releases if not core threads themselves. If JCho can consistently and legibly pull off his own thread then maybe I'll buy him a game or two just to hear his opinions on it. I've been planning on spamming the User Reviews section for some time with my detailed thoughts on favorites (or games that suck) but am too lazy/disorganized to pull something together.

    You're probably right. This could just turn into another "What Should I Get?" thread.

    Sorry, JCho, carry on. And we could always just pester undeadcow to beat an opinion out of him (or others) if need be. ;)

    The floor is yours....

    Alright! Thank you for the support guys!

    I think the point of this thread is biased opinions from one guy, isn't it? Well, not sure if biased is the right word but you get the idea.

    Thanks again! I'm looking forward to next week for sure. I love horror games! Plus I'll be getting my chemistry/nuclear physics fill later tonight...

    So, to start off: great idea JCho133. Second, i laughed really hard when you mentioned that you are a real person... but then I remembered your iTunes id :))

    I also like the format and you trying to explain who might like these games. After you've spent so much time playing games and on the forums... yeah, I think I'm ok with your biased recommendations.

    I also have no problem voting for president :))

    JCho133, good first volley, man. I love the format. Keep'em coming. Shadow Blade was my pick of the litter. If you have the chance, check it out :cool:

    Hello community! Just wanted to say that I may not get to post this weeks edition today (I know, not good for a second week haha). But if not today then definitely tomorrow. If you guys want I can post the names of the games I'll be writing about :D

    "TA Forum Recommends" is still on the table.
    A community effort rather than one voice

    I'd hate to sound defiant... but actually the thread is not closed. Go for the gusto, JCho and flood this place your your opinions until they knock you down (if it were to even come to that).
