Customer Reviews
Informative and Entertaining
I've watched all the episodes of Bytejacker since it's inception and am pleased that it gets better and better each week. The production is slick, the reviews informative and the presentation entertaining and engaging. It's a cool concept, reviewing only downloadable games, and has definitely opened my eyes to the plethora of free indy games that are available. I also dig that they've done away with the usual numbered reviews (i.e., I give the game a 2 out of 5 or 7 out of 10) and just stuck with the basic facts, what they like and dislike and whether or not to check it out. That kind of honesty and simplicity is what keeps me coming back for more. My favorite part has to be "Free Indy Rapid Fire" and the fact that the introduction changes each week. It helps keep the show fresh. Anthony is a fantastic host and Jon does an awesome job making the show look polished and professional. Keep up the good work!
