Information About UTGR
About the Show
Uncle Thursday Game Reviews is a video podcast devoted to helping gamers get information on the games they may be thinking of purchasing. By giving comprehensive, audio-visual reviews about video games, UTGR hopes to help the gaming consumers get the information they need to make sure that they feel they can be assured of getting the most for their gaming budget.
Games cost a good chunk of change these days. And gamers expect that if they are going to be spending $50, $60, or more (on collector's editions and such), that the game should be worth every penny they spend.
UTGR also knows that people don't always have the time they want to find and read reviews about the games they may be considering purchasing. With this in mind, UTGR is dedicated to providing as much useful information in a quick and easily digested format. Three to five minute reviews will be the norm, but chock full of information.
UTGR is prepared to bring about the new media revolution with regards to video game reviews, networking for gamers, and trying to bring forth new and interesting ways for gamers to connect and stay informed.
