Who's writing all those BALANCED reviews on TouchArcade

Except for the inside pimping of translator friends that is

Jackfrost.

Their app is pretty good to get a glimpse at the latest releases. Their reviews are utter shite.

[demi]

I only use the board because they actually discuss the games pretty decently (when they arent arguing over price drops)

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Jackfrost.

Jackfrost is too busy relaunching the GIA to write for TouchArcade anymore.

[demi]

Lol, I see why this thread was made now... you sellout

[demi]

How much do you get paid for the reviews?

[demi]

Do they give you the games to review, or do you select whatever you feel like? You should pimp some games. Like Drakerider!

Man, I wish Richard Honeywood was my friend.  That whole paragraph was in there mostly to counter the people coughcoughamericanscough complaining that the game had a shitty Engrish translation, when it was really them not knowing how accents work.

Richard knows how accents work

but not how people use them

[Sho Nuff]

Richard also quit working for Level 5 months ago

[Howard Alan Treesong]

He updated his status on Facebook ... so to speak

[thisismyusername]

That doesn't matter though, does it? They list anyone that has even done five minutes of work on title like Team Bondi did for L.A. Noir, right?

[Sho Nuff]

Sure, but if he only did five mins of work, there would probably be more names in the credits for localization staff.  Plus, it's totally a Honeywood job.  Everyone has a different wacky accent.  Nobody else does that kind of translation.

Probably the last thing he's working on for a while. He's taking six months off and chilling out in Ozzieland

[recursivelyenumerable]

he is going to go consult for accenTURE

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hehe to be fair Oscar I made this thread in earnest not to slag, usually I dont check who writes what there but I read two reviews that were better  then the rest and lo behold!

I was sure though that translator dude must have been your friend though.

I should let him know where all the best dumpsters are then
