Looking back on the year 2010, I would think that it has been a pretty good year for Nine Over Ten 9/10. The support that we’ve been receiving from both the video game developer/publisher/PR community as well as readers has been amazing. 2010 is the premise for some amazing statistics for Nine Over Ten 9/10, even I myself find them hard to believe when I was compiling them for this article:

  • 120 game reviews were published, mostly for iOS games followed by PS3 and PC.
  • 200 video game news articles were published, this included Press Releases, Previews and Contests.
  • 140,000 hits, not bad for a niche blog
  • 160,000 page views
  • Ad revenues of nearly USD 2,000!

My favourite iPhone game this year has to be Age of Zombies by Halfbrick Studios. This indie game developer also happens to be my pick of best iPhone game development studio (worldwide). The guys down south in Singapore, LambdaMu Games is my pick for best Asian development studio. Do check out their brilliant contribution to the Tower Defense genre with 4Towers.

My household became the home for two iPads in 2010, making way for Nine Over Ten 9/10 to review iPad games (finally) and I must say, the device is an amazing piece of engineering. Favourite iPad game for this year? Scrabble :).On the PS3 front, Red Dead Redemption takes the cake even though I’ve yet to finish the game. I’m grateful for the opportunity to review stuff like Vanquish on the PS3 (it was a blast) and I’m looking out for more.

So what’s next for Nine Over Ten 9/10 in 2011? More iOS game reviews and coverage of course, pay more attention to the YouTube channel and probably get an iPad 2. So keep on reading, subscribe to the RSS feed if you have not already, and don’t forget to be a fan on Facebook (links are on the right). HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
