FURTHER READING / 07.15.09

FURTHER READING's delinquency is inexcusable to be sure, but I have to offer my apologies. I've been running desperately trying to find a job. I've found where to apply for some writing jobs at UGO (parent company of 1up), but I'm also trying to find how I can start getting my name out even further, or possibly finding a job at an actual game company. Several calls have got me leads to a few places, but I have to continue diligently working to find work.

Like I said, I have to say that I'm sorry for being so tardy with FURTHER READING, so I offer a super sized FURTHER READING with blogging back on track tomorrow.

• Crackdown's profits were hurt specifically by used game sales,
• Bayonetta got a release date in Japan,
• Batman: Arkham Asylum might have a lot more fan service that previously anticipated,
• Kotaku runs down some summer blockbuster games, and
• Dragon Quest IX gets a perfect score from Famitsu.
