JayJay reviews classic DS RPG 7th Dragon
Countdowns rarely lead to anything big, yet gamers constantly fall for them, leading Heath of Game Revolution to write: "Be it a big boost or a small one, an increase in exposure and hype are virtually guaranteed if a game publisher does something as simple as opening a website with a date and an image on it. How often does this work? Every dang time."
One marketing scheme I like? Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon has had absolutely no marketing around it.
It blows my mind every time I see people actually expecting/predicting big things from internet countdowns.
