VG Media Network

I’m pleased to announce that Graduate Games has joined the VG Media Network. Written by Mike Gnade, Grad Games focuses on console gaming, with reviews and discussion of current games, previews of upcoming games and some retro reviews as well.

Welcome!

The Fun Bucket has joined the ranks of the Video Game Media Network! TFB focuses on console games - Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 - and also reports on technology and online culture.

Once again, the urge to make a terrible pun with the name of the blog is nearly overwhelming. I’m going to keep fighting it, but I don’t know how much longer I can hold out here.

Welcome to VGM!

The Discriminating Gamer has joined the ranks of the VG Media Network! Written by Tim Graffam, the Discriminating Gamer focuses on console game news and reviews. Why the name “Discriminating Gamer”? Tim says,

First of all, games and consoles aren’t getting any cheaper. Quite the opposite, each new technology sets a new bar in the realm of cost to us dedicated gamers. As in my youth, finances often dictate well thought out gaming selection. I read previews, keep track of the hype surrounding new games and read reviews as release dates approach. If I’m dropping $60 on a new game, I make sure I’m confident it’s really good.

Even though I’m frugal (read: cheap), money isn’t the main reason for this blog. Actually, my time is much more valuable to me than money. You won’t find any negative reviews on this blog, because I don’t waste time with crummy games. I’ve always been fairly selective with the games I will devote hours of my life to.

Zath!, written by Simon Barker, has joined the VG Media Network. In Simon’s words, Zath! is devoted to

various things that I find on the Internet, covering areas such as computing, gaming, gadgets, some (good quality!) TV and movies, plus the odd bit of humour thrown in as well for good measure.

I have to tell that you that the urge to do a “Simon says” pun in that last sentence was almost overwhelming. I fought it off, but just barely. Anyway, Simon, welcome to VG Media!

I’m pleased to announce the newest member of the VG Media Network: i pwn nOObs, written by Ed Borden. Ed blogs about video games and technology, and is a self professed “hardware nerdzor.” He says,

Even a guy with an uncontrollable addiction to gaming has to work if he wants to have his wife stick around. Ed Borden brings you his day-to-day insight from deep within the PC hardware industry as a C-Level exec of a boutique systems integrator - in the way only a gamer knows how…with a BFG9000.

Dave “Inhibitor” Hughes from LagORama has joined the VG Media Network! From his nickname we can deduce that he is at least one of the following:

1) Professional wrestler with the WWE. And in this corner…. the man, the myth, the legend…. The INHIBITOR!

2) Vigilante crime fighter. The Joker is going to release the nerve gas at the zoo this afternoon?!?! Light up the Hib signal! We need him right away!!

3) Video game blogger.

Well, I don’t actually know how Hib spends his nights and weekends, but he is at least a video game blogger. He says,

LagORama is a blog devoted to the MMORPG genre, and the gamers that play them while griping about gold sellers, unbalanced warlocks and…well, lag, obviously. It’s updated at least once per day Monday through Friday each week, by Inhibitor, and occasionally on the weekends when something really stupid happens.

Welcome, Hib!

I’m pleased to announce that Droniac, from The Game Drone, has joined the ranks of the VG Media Network.

Droniac focuses his blog on Strategy, FPS, RPG and MMO games available on the PC. His aim is to highlight the lesser known, quieter games in those genres that perhaps you haven’t heard of yet.

Welcome, Droniac!

I’m proud to announce the launch of the VG Media Network, a new community for video game bloggers and fans, dedicated to providing the highest level of quality content available. We’ve got a great group of bloggers from around the globe, covering many different aspects of the video game industry.

In no particular order, the founding members are:

Write The Game - A blog that’s designed to help you understand games; the process of development, the sweat, toil and tears that get sunk into thirty seconds of action, and the tightrope line of success across the sea of failure.

The Hunter’s Mark - A blog that discusses hunter theorycraft from the perspective of a Survival hunter, as well as guides, gear and raiding, with the occasional video and comic, in addition to anecdotes of adventures around Azeroth and the Outlands with alts.

Daniel Primed - Through his blog, Daniel provides interesting editorial based articles on both modern and retro gaming. Among the regular articles, he also has a series of featured segments which regularly appear on the blog.

Girls Don’t Game - A group of five girl gamers talk games. Plenty of different opinions, and a wide range of subjects, from reviews to interviews to editorials.

Tank Hard! - A couple of tanks from the World of Warcraft talk shop, discussing strategies and gear, dispensing advice as needed and sharing their stories of being the first to die in battle.

Press The Buttons - News, opinion and commentary on the video game industry, from MattG, a self proclaimed “Mario fanatic”.

Consolation Prize - A blog dedicated to the current generation of video game consoles, with impressions and reviews of games that have been played by “QuizzicalDemon”, an avid gamer since the early eighties.

DrainingSouls.net - Adrenis is a warm-hearted and friendly warlock (who just wants to borrow your soul) in the World of Warcraft. He plays casually, raids on occasion, PvPs on the side, and writes about it all on his blog.

The Server Is Down - Kevin provides insightful commentary and analysis on many of the various MMOs available now. An ex-WoW raider, he’s currently playing EQ II and waiting for WAR to be released.
