We know us – so we trust us…

But you don’t, so why should you?

That’s one of things we suddenly came to realize recently. (Hey, we’re great at making games. That doesn’t make us all that bright.)

The Playgamewave.com site was the face we presented to the world who might be interested in our product, and all we provided there was us telling them – the stuff we make was really, really fun, and you and your family are going to love it, and up to six can play and 4Degrees is fun, and so is ZAP 21 and so is Click! and so on and so on….

Now, none of that was untrue.

All of our stuff really is fun. Especially the Rewind games, although since I worked as the editor and head writer on those, I might be a wee bit biased. It’s just we were asking folks to take our word for it.

And since those folks had no idea who we were, they tended not to.

So, we’re focusing now on a couple of things – first, letting people know who we are a bit through things like this blog.

And second, using our current customer's experiences to tell our story for us.

There is nothing more convincing for me than hearing from a person who sounds a bit like me about something that I may be interested in. Be it a movie, a restaurant, a cell phone, or in this case, a game console, if someone who I can relate to has a positive experience about something, anything really, that is far more compelling for me than hearing it from the company who is producing it.

So – instead of us blathering on about how great the Game Wave is (and it is pretty great really), I’m asking you to take a sec and blow our own horn for us.

People who come to our site don’t necessarily want to hear it from us. They will want to hear it from you however, so if you have something to say about the Game Wave, pass it along.

Ha! That's hilarious. I recognize this video. The kid was unwrapping one of the first Atari video consoles.
