I have started a blog focused on JJ2, where I will be reviewing noteworthy JJ2 levels from throughout the history of the game. I'll try to update it at least twice a month, focusing mostly on single player episodes. At first I will be making posts on a chronological basis, starting with stuff from 1998 and working up to the present. Eventually I'll probably start deviating from that formula though.

I'll also be using the blog to post about my own projects, though those posts will be done in a different way from the normal review posts.

The first review is already up. I chose Wakeman's Peach Beach, since it's a very old level and I thought it would be a good starting point.

Please tell me what you think of this, and what you think of the format of the reviews and so on. Posting comments on the blog itself will probably get my attention quicker (no need to register an account), but you can post comments here too.

Trying to get us motived to work on more SP levels? hehe

This sounds great, that alone should give a spark of life to jj2.

A while back I actually had a similar idea, but I was/am way too lazy to ever actually do it, so props to you for not being a bum. Or something.

Anyway, excellent work.

Good work.

I was thinking of starting a thread asking about the best SP levels for jj2, But I think i'll watch this blog instead

New review is up. Normally I'd post updates in rabbitjournal but I already got the top post in there anyway, so I figure there's no point.

Comments and feedback appreciated, as always.

I remember "Another Story". Somewhat poor tileset use and level design, but the story was the main strong point in the series.

Still think this is a great idea :)

You don't think the tilesets were used well? Well, I guess that's a matter of debate.

[EvilMike]

I think it does its job well enough.

I posted a new review! It's very positive!

I posted a new review. The choice of level coinciding with the month is unintentional, I swear.

Time for some thread necromancy

About a week ago I saw that some of the downloads on this blog were still getting hits, which meant that this thing still was getting traffic. Figured I might as well give it another shot so here it is. Today's review is Dino Station by Wakeman, a small, but very unique level.

I've already got another review fully written and saved. It covers a level pack most of you have probably never even heard of. I'll post it once I do some more writing on the review after that. That way I can keep a sort of buffer of future posts, and maybe manage to keep this thing going for more than a few weeks...
