This month on GameCyte, we’re going to try something a little different. While we always pride ourselves on bringing you deeper perspectives, wittier commentary and more careful analysis than you’ll find anywhere else, it’s taken a toll on our ability to produce truly original content. So now, rather than continually attempt to one-up our competitors (no pun intended) we’re going to embrace them like never before.
“Just the Links, Ma’am,” our new daily news update, is just what you’d expect: a collection of links. But this isn’t your average, garden-variety roundup — we’re going to bring you the very best in gaming news, handpicked for quality, accuracy and timeliness. Every morning, check back for all you need to remain an informed gamer.
