for those about to rock

jon sells out?

well, not really.

a month ago or so, i got an email from a contact person working for this marketing group. her company promotes music, movies and videogames online on a grassroots, word-of-mouth level. read somewhere that this approach is called "viral marketing", and i guess the contact chanced upon an old post i wrote on videogames and saw fit to tap me as a carrier on behalf of capcom and one of their latest offerings, 'ultimate ghosts n' goblins' for the psp.

so, the deal is that i write up a short, OBJECTIVE review of the game (based on what i've heard about it, i wouldn't be surprised if i end up complaining that it's hard as balls) and submit the link to the post to the contact. in exchange, i get to keep the copy of the game i use for my review and enjoy whatever resultant blog promotion will come from getting a link through m80.

once i get a chance to actually play the game -- i'm waiting on a friend who works security at my office to loan me a psp, which i was unfortunately unable to get this marketing person to throw in to sweeten our deal -- i'll be posting my brief review of it here.
