interesting blog you got there  brows.gif

it would be great if you could provide some random tips & hints for popular games, though
especially MMORPGs where players have to compete with other non-AI players

just my thoughts

Writing guides take a lot of time, I cover a lot of news per day and make more posts per day than most other blog. If i were to focus on guides or tips, I will have to reduce this and play the game a lot...especially MMORPG's take a long time to play to write a guide that is useful.

But of course I would love to cover that if I have the time. Right now one person I have to focus one some things. If I get a volunteer writer to wrtei these stuff, again I don't mind.

I do plan to cover MMORPG especially the ones that are popular here(the free ones). Thought of writing a feature on them. But since streamyx has been having problem due to some undersea cable problem...bad download speed...plus its so difficult to get into on of those free mmo's...the amount of hoops they make you jump is frustrating to say the least.

Thanks for your feedback...I do appreciate any feedback...I'll keep that in mind as I expand the blog.

I review games that I want to get. tongue.gif It is not a Malaysian centric focus...I think there are many sites and blogs that focus on competitive games in Malaysia(read DoTA)...I dont know if they do a good job...

But I dont want to follow that...I want to bring good quality news, reviews, and indie game reviews that I think is cool.

Game reviews will generally be the big(and maybe some obscure) PC titles.

this blog does not OOZE gameness.. the BG looked like old linoleum at a diner or something

while i like the content i dont quite like the layout now. any chance of updating the look TS?

on a side note regarding the content. i can get the same news form Kotaku or N4g.. i think to make your content unique you need to put a malaysian spin on it

better yet create a custom article like " top ten game with malaysia in it" or " funniest pirated game cover ever"

i am giving you some lulz idea here my friend. this way your blog will have the uniqueness instead of just another kotaku or N4G clone

i hope you wont take this the wrong way. i am not beating you down or anything.. i just think i have to be honest about my opinions

best of luck on the blog. I KNOW you can do better.

Thanks for the feedback. The design is still WIP. The reason i went for the current look is that its just something I can work with. I'm not really good in graphics design so I knew a grey theme will be nuetral and at least will not look revolting to the eyes too much...It might be boring...but these things can be improved...The background pattern I got it from a royalty free design site.

I'm quite content with the layout...as in the location of the side widgets, banner and main frame...To rework the layout would take way too much time because I have to edit ALL my posts(the pictures are formatted perfectly for the current dimensions). But again design, colour theme are things I always reconsider...If you have specific rcomendation on these please do share it tongue.gif

In terms of content I concur. But I think I'm on the right track...I have write ups about indie games...Games that I actually spend time playing. Free games...Who doesn't love free games tongue.gif I also have my rant articles(or open topics). These are the original content I have right now.

I know it may not be as visible right now...thats were I think I still need to figure out a way of making the link to the original content more visible...The temp work around is a mouse over javascript that describes the buttons. Still haven't got around to doing that doh.gif

Oh and I also may have news stuff that you may not always get from the big sites because...I also get sources from fan base forums and also European sites(sites that are non english)...Of course most of the time the big games like SC2 and DoW2 of course they will feature it...Something I can't avoid.

I have to admit I'm a little busy with all the content. I have to complete a write up about the next indie game I'm featuring...and have to get around to play test Shin Megami Tensei Online more and write an Impression...

But thanks on reminding me I still need to work on the design of the blog doh.gif

The localised content are stuff that I'm considering...

Yeah I'm a little worried by it...I was a fan of the original Codename Panzers: Phase One...The developers that were working on Cold War(the guys that made the series) got axed...development duties was taken over by another company(the current one)...

I've seen a video demo of it running late last year...and it ran like s**t...The german preview claims the developers have worked on optimising the engine...I only have their word for it...

But if it is any good as Phase One, it will be great...especially with modern tanks...so I'm crossing my finger..

Another game I'm a little worried about is Disciples 3..the problem with these eastern European developers is that they aren't that consistent with quality...they may make a sleeper hit one time...then the next, they make a dud doh.gif
