Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
Very nice, but on the site, www.thegamingnews.com/ I think the design ins't really up to snuff with it's competitors. I'm not saying it should be flashy, but it should look a bit stronger. |

Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
It's a place holder at this point so we can have people contact us who are interested in contributing. It is in no way representative of what the site will actually look like.

Like Mindi said it's just a placeholder, the final site will be much different looks wise.

Actually it's more than a financial relationship, Matrix Games bought Wargamer.com awhile ago. We aren't specifically going after Wargamer.com, but we're being fairly transparent that the site is owned by us from the beginning. That way people can use their own judgement to decide if they think our coverage is biased.
|
Would you think it fair to say then that Wargamer.com is the "mouthpiece" of Matrix games?
|
I'd like to reiterate what Richard has already said. We are not launching this project as an effort to "take on" wargamer.com or any other site. In fact, our news site will be geared toward all indie gaming news, not just wargames. Our intentions are to help fill a void which we believe exists in independent game coverage.
But you raise an interesting point, and I feel compelled to redirect the question to you (or to anyone reading this), "Would you think it fair to say then that Wargamer.com is the "mouthpiece" of Matrix games?" |

Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
Could we get better descriptions on what exactly the colums will be about that we can apply to write for. Like Coach? I don't even know where to begin wondering what that is gonna be about.

Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
Coach is sports games, Gamer is general gaming (games that don't fit into the other categories would go here) and I think Role-Player and Wargamer are self descriptive.

No. Wargamer reviews wargames from ALL publishers.
