As you may have noticed we now have an ad for King of Route 66 up on the site. Sega has decided to do a sort of test campaign with us to see if we are worth working with on a larger scale in the future. The ad will probably only run for a few days. I don't know if they intentionally gave us the worst looking ad ever in order to stack the deck against us, but I do apologize for it's terrible quality. Assuming this ad of theirs performs well then hopefully they will come back to us in the future with other games and hopefully better ads. As for the game itself I don't know much about it. You can go back through the archives a few years and read how much I liked 18 wheeler. Route 66 is essentially a sequel to that title so I have no doubt that it will be enjoyable and probably brief.
I'm not going to say that the whole semi truck racing genre is getting stale because I don't think it is, but I think that some online play could certainly spice it up a bit. How cool would it be to take jobs like in freelancer and then make your way cross country with your load. All the while avoiding bands of Mad Max style pirates and other crazy truckers. Money you earn from completed jobs could be used to beef up the defensive or offensive capabilities of your rig. I don't know, that sounds pretty cool to me.
Anyway, if you would please be so kind as to give that ad a clickeroo we would really appreciate it.
Did I mention how good it felt to make a comic about videogames again?
