Dear Future Gamer

I'm sure that a small regular list of upcoming releases on budget labels would be a worthwhile addition to FG. Consider it the equivalent of a books magazine covering releases in paperback, no need to review it again, just remind us what it is and tell us how much!

You could argue that by the time a game comes out on a budget label it is no longer worth spending money on, as a new spankier relative will have been released. However, certain titles are pretty time-proof and deserve coverage regardless of age, especially at pocket money prices.

If I missed a game first time round and see it in your listings it may well trigger the memory, enabling me to go out and fill a gap in my collection. Can't be bad.

Otherwise a well balanced and enjoyable read - the only mailing list I'm on that doesn't get directed straight to "junk to read when bored stupid".

FG: I'm still pondering the budget games section, but am coming round to thinking it's a service worth providing. I'm inclined to go along with your suggestions though - no re-reviews, just a quick note saying what it's about and whether it's any good.
