Help JTM Games Become A Better Video Game Site
As you guys well know, there are millions of other videogame industry sites on the internet; and of course it is quite the difficult task to differentiate our work from all the others.
JTM Games wouldn’t even be online if it weren’t for you guys, our awesome readers.
That’s why I would like to hear your opinions on what would make JTM Games a better blog. Cast your vote in the poll, and share with us your thoughts in the comment section below.
Get The Best Of Both Worlds – Get The PS3 And 360

Which is the better gaming machine, the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360?
Ah it is the question that starts debates, fights, and even wars (of the flaming kind). It is a question that has been much discussed all over the web for the last six years. Everytime a new blockbuster exclusive game comes out for one system, the fans and followers of the other system either: a) Dismisses it as crap, b) Denies it’s existence, or c) Write negative reviews on public review sites.
It’s a question that I myself have a hard time answering. I have both systems, like both systems, and play the hell out of them. Sometimes I would have stretches of time where I would use one system more over the other. I have a massive collection of games for both systems too. It’s too damn hard to choose which one is better.
After watching an old episode of Friends. You know, the one where Ross creates a list of Rachel and Julie’s pros and cons, I had an idea. I’ll do that same thing for both systems. See which one outdoes the other. (Without having to endure Rachel’s wrath Thank God!)
Let’s start the lists shall we?
JTM Games Best Of 2011
JTM Games Best Of 2011
We imagine, engraved in stone atop some holy hill, there is a commandment that come the end of each year, critics must provide a “Best of” list. Being only mortal, we here at JTM Games aim to do just that.
What a year 2011 was for the video game industry. Nostalgia continued to rule the day. The vast majority of successful games were sequels, both expected and unexpected, remakes, or re-imaginings of franchises *cough*Mortal Kombat*cough* long thought dead. Gamers began the year still debating which was better, Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption, but were quickly distracted by a glut of early year releases — LittleBigPlanet 2, Dead Space 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: Fate of Two Worlds, Killzone 3, Total War: Shogun 2, Pokemon Black & White — which were just good enough for everyone, thank you very much. Portal 2 was released shortly after, and a whole lotta socks were knocked off as Valve re-established themselves as the reigning kings of interactive entertainment. Read the rest of this entry

Top 5 Silent Hill Soundtrack Songs
Over the years, the Silent Hill franchise has built it’s name on psychological and supernatural scares compared to the other survival horror games in the market. Each sequel (and re-imagining) one-upping each other on creeping out players through it’s characters, story, and environments.

4Villains – Victoria’s First Fan-Interactive Webseries *Updated!!*
4Villains – Victoria’s First Fan-Interactive Webseries
4Villains is a local Vancouver Island webseries thats been getting a lot of attention lately. They’re a production that’s centered on fan-interaction centering on the ongoing mishaps of four inept supervillains that try (unsuccessfully) to control the world.
Because of their ineptness and continued failures, they routinely butt heads with the Crucible, an officially sanctioned group of dastardly villains. I had a chance to talk with the cast and crew to learn more about the upcoming series.
If you like the promotional videos, the site, and the cool cast & crew, please support 4Villains by donating to their Indiegogo campaign - http://indiegogo.com/4villains-1!
Who knows, maybe you (and your very own villain character) can become part of the series later on!

According to the company, the remastered game will be a “special 10th anniversary production.” Made in 2001, Final Fantasy X was (at that time) Squaresoft’s landmark title that truly showed the power of the PS2. 10 years later, the game is still one of the most popular Final Fantasy games, aside from FF7.
Not many details were given at the conference, but the company has said that the PS Vita and PS3 versions of the game will both have the same specifications. Stay tuned for more details on the game as they arrive.
