Joseph Liberman Takes the Helm of GameTunnel.com
I was wondering what would happen to long-time indie review site GameTunnel.com when Reflexive Entertainment, the employers of site founder Russell Carroll, were bought out by online retailing powerhouse Amazon.com.

Apparently, it was sold to Joseph Lieberman. Not the game-hatin' senator, but the indie game marketing guy, author of The Indie Developer's Guide to Selling Games. Joseph is a real smart guy with tons of passion for indie games. Oh, and he's a big RPG fan too --- indie, mainstream, and dice-and-paper. I chatted with him briefly about the change, and he's very excited about the potential for the site, and committed to offering much more regular content updates, reviews every week, and so forth.

Game Tunnel was one of the very first websites devoted to indie gaming. I am friends with Russell and appreciate the effort he put into the site and to promoting indie games. And I am friends with Joseph, who worked with me on Void War, and I have a great deal of respect for what he does and what he brings to the table.

I'm hopin' for the best for the new, improved GameTunnel.com. It may no longer be the only game in town as far as indie games are concerned, but I think we can use its voice again.
