xblig.co.uk going out to pasture

After starting xblig.co.uk about 16 months ago, alas it has come time to say goodbye and put the site out to pasture.

As you have no doubt noticed, I have been less and less involved in the site of late as I started to focus more on games development. However even taking a back seat involves a small amount of work which is still more than I am able to commit.

With this in mind, once a few more reviews have been completed by Kelly and Sarah, there will be no more updates to the site. The search site will still update and remain active as this is an automated procedure, but there shall be no further reviews or otherwise site updates.

If you are a developer and have already sent in any tokens, fear not as I shall be passing these onto Master Blud (I remembered the space this time) at VVGtv. You can watch VVGtv's reviews at either their youtube page or over on XboxHornet.com

I would like take this opportunity to thank those that have helped and supported me. The list is just way too long to list everyone, but one person stands out and that is Neal, the founder of XboxHornet.com and now lead designer of BBQ Games, whose help has been immeasurable. Thanks Neal.

Well, it's been fun and the only thing that could possibly have made it any better would have been a little support from the right places, but alas this never happened and still doesn't happen for a lot of XBLIG review sites, whose owners put their hearts and souls into their site. I can but hope that one day that people will see the errors of their ways and give these hard working dedicated people the support and respect they deserve.

Well, I suppose that's it. Farewell everyone and don’t forget to check out the BBQ Games site - there might be a surprise or two in store.....

Mark - you have the number one XBLIG site ... i can´t believe you stop after all this time.

I most certainly can understand your decision and i wish you all the best. Hope we will see some cool games coming from you in the future.

But i will miss the steady flow of reviews. Xblig.co.uk was for a long time the number one place to go if you wanted some recommendations on indie games.

Cheers,
Gerald

PS: great - i have 2 A+ XBLIG sites in my links, now both are discontinued. Gets one thinking.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this website for as long as your did. You exposed me to many indie games that I would have never discovered were it not for your website. Good luck in the future!
