Games to Watch in 2009

So, we’re back. You may not have ever realised we ever left thanks to our hard work pre-Christmas, but finally all the bit-tech.net staff are snug in their office chairs after an exhausting Christmas break. We’re back and ready for more; more games, more tech and more ‘splosions than ever.
