Geoffrey Tim - December 15th, 2011 | Yesterday we uh…expressed dissatisfaction…with the way Monkeybin studios treated us and our readers as idiots - by providing pre-written, overwhelmingly positive reviews of one of their games for us to post on the site.

Geoffrey Tim - December 14th, 2011 | As a games news and reviews outlet, we’re often bombarded by PR people and their incessant press releases from all over the world to feature content - or maybe review some game that we’ve never heard of.
