Blogs \ Around the Network #4
Welcome to the MyMedia Around the Network feature! Some of you may remember this as the MyMedia Community Update, and it is essentially the same thing with an emphasis on type of content rather than each site.
This will be published each Monday afternoon/evening to keep you up to date with everything that has happened across MyMedia in the past 7 days. We'll also update you on what is planned for the week ahead.

The Bigs 2 Review
A taste
The Bigs was a great arcade title that introduced a lot of gamers to baseball in gaming. Like cricket, baseball has a relatively steep learning curve and mastering any game based on the sport generally isn’t very easy. What The Bigs did was offer an experience similar to what NBA Jam did for basketball back in the 90s. Not everyone wants to play sport-sims with strict rule enforcement and full-time matches, and that’s ultimately what made the title feel fresh and fun. With the sequel in The Bigs 2, we get everything that made the first title so great, as well as a few new modes that, while not really anything special, still give the title that little extra bit of value. The Bigs 2 is a genuine arcade baseball title, but does it pack the punch to hit a homer?

User Reviewer of the Month coming September!
Starting in September we'll have a reviewer of the month badge, similar to the reporter of the month. I want some input on how this should be done, as I want it to be similar - but a little different - to reporter of the month.
There'll definitely be a badge, but I'm considering something else instead of free PWNAGE for a month. Perhaps, instead, I'll post a blog with an extract of your review and give it a shout out on the MyMedia twitter page, which combined should get it some more views. I understand as a writer one of the most rewarding things is knowing people are reading your work, and I believe many of you may prefer a few more views to free PWNAGE for a month (especially since this is already offered).
Let me know what you think either as a comment here, or directly by sending me a message.
