Because we here at QJ just can't keep ourselves from thinking of new ways to give you your daily dose of gaming news and updates, we've just cooked up a new way to get all the QJ goodness that you want - faster and easier. It's the QJ.NET Toolbar, packed with all the features and tools to make your Quick Jumps even quicker.

Yes, we've heard you guys. Over at the forums. Over at the comments section. Heck, some of you even emailed us about having problems emailing us! (Err, what?) Well, that's all water under the bridge now. The news tip submission system here on the front page is fixed! No more MAILER-DAEMON errors bouncing back into your inboxes. Woot!

Hey guys! When we said we here at QJ want to jumpstart our community, we meant it. And what better way to make us even more accessible to everyone than creating our very own Facebook and Twitter accounts? Cool, yes? Of course it is! Know more about all that after the jump! We're really excited about expanding our network!

A very Merry Christmas from your friends at QJ. Here's to sneaked peeks, to torn wrapping paper and gingerbread, to stocking stuffers and pudding, to merriment and relaxation. Basically, we hope you folks are taking it easy.

All the very best,

Team QJ.

Greetings dearest readers! In our never ending quest to bring you guys the best gaming related news we can find, we're starting a new initiative at QJ called the Dev Blog. It's aimed at reaching out to smaller game developers, homebrew developers, independent publishers and XNA Game Studio Express by Microsoft">XNA creators, and putting them directly in touch with you, the fans, to let you know what awesome projects they've got cooking.

Intrigued? Read on to find out more about Dev Blog and our first partners in this venture, Wolfire Games develops innovative, independent games for Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.">Wolfire Games!

The more astute among you have no doubt noticed that QJ's weekend coverage over the past couple of months has been... light. This was a problem brought on by a lack of manwidth, a problem that's thankfully been put behind us. Simply put, we're resuming our weekend coverage starting this Friday, it's good to be back, and yes, we missed you too!

See ya this weekend!

At QJ we're always trying to provide you guys with the best gaming and tech news from across the web in one easy to access place (with a touch of the ol' QJ wit of course). We're a community here at QJ and respect you folks far too much to half ass it or give anything less than 100%. It's because of this we've decided focus our coverage in a number of core areas and postpone our coverage in certain areas for the foreseeable future. What's on hold, what continues? Click on to find out.

As a way of giving back to the homebrew community, QJ.NET will be holding a massive Summer Homebrew Contest, inviting all talented PSP coders to try their hand at winning fame and prestige awards (as well as a generous monetary reward!). Find out the contest rules and what accolades await the winner in our full article after the jump.

QuickJump QuickPeek finally gets a make-over! After a full year of weekly updates, we're now turning over a new leaf and allowing this QJ.NET mainstay to branch out by introducing the Weekend Warriors. Sorry, the Weekend Whattssitts? Hmm, just think of it as the Planeteers summoning Captain Planet. ...Or something - some other equally bad analogy like that at least. Ha! Nonetheless, it's going to be quite interesting from here on out. Here's to yet another year of some crazy weekly updates! And with that, we open the floor for the Weekend Warriors!

Numerical scores are like so last decade ago. So, breaking free from the supposed "one-size-fits-all" checklists of items to add up to a game's "score", we're going to be implementing a new five-star review system. See, we're trying to avoid having to quantify video games into arbitrary numbers. After all, many of us feel that a game isn't just the sum of all its parts (as in a checklist), but rather, the totality of the gaming experience itself! In the full article, we've come up with a handy FAQ to introduce this brand spanking new system to all of you QJ.NET readers. And yes, there're no half-stars about it! Rawr!
