Jay is Games Controversy

Posted by BoMToons - January 11th, 2010

Jay is Games has featured games I've made exactly once. I think he has a personal chip on his shoulder against my stuff.

Even when he featured "Portal Defenders" he prefaced the actual review with so much "Warning: this game is ultra violent" explanation as to keep 80% of his audience from even trying the game out.

Luckily, any game they review gets into their end-of-the-year "best of" voting. So go vote for Portal Defenders and teach JIG what real quality is all about!

Scroll down to Portal Defenders and click the "Vote" button next to it. Vote once a day!

I'm pretty sure he could give two shits about you and is more worried about the type of content he serves his viewers, and how that reflects on his ads, since he caters to the casual market , and he probably wanted to make sure the games he links to are safe for work.

You probably know all this, and are just baiting people. haha the only controversy is in your title :3

RAWR I VOETEDED FOR YOU, CAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGED LoLOLOLlol

BoMToons 2010-01-11 12:57:46 (Updated 2010-01-11 12:58:37)

Way to fight injustice! :-P

Vandal2 2010-01-11 13:07:55

Hell yes!
That is an awesome game, you shall not be wronged!

Starogre 2010-01-11 13:21:07

what makes the insides of a person so violent? it's not like it shows detailed corpses with fleshy cuts....

whatever, voted! (sorry seed of destruction, the other newgrounds game i recognized)

BoMToons 2010-01-11 13:21:07

It's probably all the blood on the ground or something.

therealanimator 2010-01-11 13:32:23

jayisgames are little kiddies who think its cool to write shitty reviews about awesome games like portal defenders.

HappyHarry 2010-01-11 13:41:34

I'm not sure what kind of puritans visit that site, but I know when I read "ultraviolent" anywhere, I'm all the more intrigued.

Also, a big LMAO-ski at his picture.

BoMToons 2010-01-11 13:41:34

That's a good point, it probably grabbed a lot of eyes for being such a wart on JIG's face.

Doctoroliver 2010-01-11 13:50:01

I can't believe Jay Is Games is ignorant... I'll ask them this question: What part in the word T for TEEN don't they understand? Portal Defenders ain't THAT Violent! You want a violent game: Go and play Left 4 Dead 2, and you'll see!(BTW, I'll be 18 the 13th of february!! Yay... in a few weeks.)

BoMToons 2010-01-11 13:50:01

In their defense, we changed the rating to T after they wrote that review.

Godliest 2010-01-11 14:29:13

Barbarian Onslaught all the way. Who the fuck cares about mashing the space button to pieces anyway? My a button I actually use for stuff.

Here's three completely irrelevant exclamation marks: !!!

I-smel 2010-01-11 15:20:28

woah, not many good action arcade games last year. You probably are the best one.

They only ever mentioned one o my games and gave it a pretty crummy review :(

Skeik 2010-01-11 16:33:22

On the note of JiG, I got listed in Flash Game Friday once, for BFF2. I've never really considered my games to be good enough to be on their site, my games aren't very polished TBH.

Voted for you :D

BoMToons 2010-01-11 16:33:22

Thanks man

Kenney 2010-01-11 17:16:56

You've got my vote, he featured one of my games once or twice, don't recall. Still stupid he only featu...wait a sec, you don't think he got anything against mormons right? o_O

BoMToons 2010-01-11 17:16:56

probably, I call religious intolerance!

Graeme 2010-01-11 18:14:38

I had a game by them review that wasn't included in the final nominations :(
Is it their descretion in the end whether or not they include something?

But since I'm not there, looks like Portal Defenders gets my vote!

deadspread83 2010-01-11 18:51:11

Nick, anybody that gives you a hard time is obviously a huge douche. I hope you win for SPITE!

BoMToons 2010-01-11 18:51:11

Spite can do a lot these days

Magical-Zorse 2010-01-11 19:35:33

Jayisgames is corrupt.

BoMToons 2010-01-11 19:35:33

as they say in italy: "the fish rots from its head"

FatKidWitAJetPak 2010-01-11 20:10:20

Jay is games has mainly laid back and relaxing games for the faint hearted and plot detailed oriented games. *They love room escape games and point n click games like Submachine*

They might look down on your action game because they are PANSIES. If you dont win im going to be kind of pissed unless its a REALLY GOOD GAME. Im voting.

BoMToons 2010-01-11 20:10:20

yeah, no one likes action anymore

JT1 2010-01-11 21:31:38

Jay is Games used to have a stated policy that it would not feature games on Newgrounds. They claimed it was because you had to click a link to view the games. Personally I think that is a lame excuse.

BoMToons 2010-01-11 21:31:38

They don't have that policy any more apparently

VidGameDude 2010-01-12 00:11:13

well thats pretty much his own problem...

people seriously need to cut the umbilical cord and quit being soo protective
*sigh* -_-

so bom...got any good words of advice?

l8s

evanarmagast 2010-01-12 00:28:37

i voted. no need to convince me. portal defenders was the best on the list.

CantflyRyan 2010-01-12 01:00:42

lmfao there's no way that the mugshot is actually what he really looks like, or at least for his sake I hope it isn't

molkman 2010-01-12 09:01:12

Jayisgames is a site not only for adults and they want to inform their visitors early on if the game is violent or not. Thinking Jay is hating on you is just dumb.

BoMToons 2010-01-12 09:01:12

they have a rating system, going on for 2 paragraphs at the beginning of the review is a bit of overkill

Sandling 2010-01-19 01:09:51

"Analysis: Portal Defenders is a game made by (disturbed) Flash game geeks, for Flash game geeks" Erm...
