Two weeks into our official relaunch, we’re expanding and wanting to hear from our audience

It has been a whirlwind 15 days since our silent relaunch took place. My co-designer, Carl Rhoades, and I basically finished development on all of the features we deemed essential for the new GamePartisan to be fully functional right off the bat, and then the editorial staff stepped up and went to work. It was that simple. If you know anything about our past, you know that this required a shocking lack of fanfare and press releases. This time around, however, given all of the new things we are ready to present to our audience, both new fans and old diehards, we felt it best just to go ahead and get to work, letting all the bells and whistles go this time around.

All of that behind us, our Thanksgiving week updates means another solid week for GamePartisan. For the Microsoft Xbox 360, we’re planning on giving you reviews of Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 and the Orange Box. Due to unforeseen shipping difficulties, my review copies of Assassin’s Creed and Virtua Fighter 5 have yet to arrive. Therefore, I make no promises pertaining to their being reviewed this week. If they arrive this afternoon, then yes, I should have them reviewed by week’s end. If not, if they arrive later in the week, well then prospects are far better for them being reviewed next week.

For the Nintendo Wii, Joe Maier is allegedly hard at work on putting the finishing touches on his Super Mario Galaxy review. Senior editor Andrew Cretella looks to have a good deal more Wii-related content up and ready for consumption within the next week or so.

For the Sony PlayStation 3, Eric Goldfisher has finished his review of Heavenly Sword, which will definitely be a part of our Thanksgiving update.

The best news of all, however, is that our progressive editorial policy is set to come into effect later this week, with Ben Paddon officially returning to the scene with another rendition of his wonderful column, "Made in England". Columnist Jeremy Bennett looks to continue to shock and awe with a new incarnation of his edgy "Gaymer". For my part, count on at least one of my two columns seeing an update this week. Even though it’s Thanksgiving, that’s no excuse for me not to be here in top form, stirring up mischief and seeking whomever I may irritate with less than good tidings.

For now, folks, the one big item Mr. Rhoades and I failed to accomplish before the official relaunch of GamePartisan was setting up site e-mail addresses for the editorial staff. Yes, I know. Quite an irritation and, now that you all know, an embarrassment to boot.

Nevertheless, you can still contact us, me in particular, so take heart and send an e-mail to my personal e-mail address (yes, feel special): my personal e-mail…write me!

Until next time, otaku!
