Hello and welcome to another issue of Park World magazine! It feels like I’ve only just got home from IAAPA, and now… I’m getting ready to go to IAAPA. It’ s madness I tell you, madness! If you only recently told me that you didn’t have anything new to show me, get ready to tell me again because I’m coming back to a booth near you, soon! If it’s only been a month since you showed me the game you showed me 12 months ago, get your button-pressing finger ready because I’m coming back for more. Anyway, I appear to have spent my cynic quota for the month, so I guess I’ll have to instead tell you that we have a smashing issue for you, containing some properly interesting interviews and updates this month, as well as the usual column shenanigans from our Susan and our Tom (if you ever write for me, prepare to enjoy a new ‘our’ title). I’m led to believe many of you still read this page, so please accept my apologies; it’s pretty late in the day and a new game came out on PS5 that I’m itching to play, so I feel like I’m just typing until the word count is sufficient to stop. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Bingo.
Lots of love, Matt
