The VG Media Network!

1:52 am Rants, blog

You may have noticed that the sidebar has grown yet again, with a list of links to the VG Media Network blogs! This VG Media Network is a gathering of video-gaming bloggers who will be working together to improve the quality and popularity of their blogs - and as you may have guessed: The Game Drone just joined up! All of these blogs are related to video games some way or another and each seems to have it’s own take on the business, so you’d do well to give them all a look.

Of course I’m not going to leave it at that, so let’s take a quick look at each participant, shall we?

  • Consolation Prize is a blog that covers modern day console platforms and the games that are released for them. This is all done by QuizzicalDemon, who guides you through the world of Nintendo DS’s, Xbox 360’s and PlayStation’s with his twenty-plus years of console gaming experience.
  • Daniel Primed is Daniel’s blog on gaming in general. His blog offers well written entries on just about anything retro. As such you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything PC in there, but there’s plenty for console - and retro in general - fans!
  • Draining Souls does not actually drain your soul - at least, I hope not. Rather, it’s a blog about draining souls… with a Warlock, in the game World of Warcraft, which I’m sure you’ve heard of by now (if not: welcome to the year 2008, I hope your extended stay in the 20th century was comfortable). Even if you’re not much of a WoW fan - like me - blogger Adrenis still provides a wealth of good reading.
  • Girls Don’t Game offers the perspective of five gaming girls on the world of video games, both PC and console. You’re going to find a multitude of varying entries there, which are bound to be of interest. As you may know, I’ve already had a link up to these girls for a while - after all: it’s a blog well-worth checking out!
  • Hunter’s Mark is another World of Warcraft blog which offers an amazing amount of content for Hunter players, ranging from guides to comics and whatnot else. Blogger and Night Elf Hunter Lassirra provides a steady stream of new quality content, that even non-Hunter players will appreciate.
  • Press the Buttons is an all-purpose gaming blog by Mario-fan MattG, which covers just about anything gaming in pretty much every possible way.
  • Tank Hard! rounds out the list of World of Warcraft blogs in the VG Media Networks, offering plenty of content for any tank currently residing in Azeroth. Want to improve your game, or just read stories about the experiences of like minded individuals? This blog has it.
  • The Server is Down takes a good look at anything online gaming, which means you’ll find plenty of Massively Multiplayer Online gaming content here! If you’re looking for opinions, information or visuals on any recent MMO, chances are this blog has it.
  • Write the Game covers gaming from an unusual perspective: trying to help you understand games. The process of development, the history and future of gaming are all topics you’re going to come across here. This interesting blog is hosted by K. Peney, with assistance from the occasional guest writer.

That’s the extent of the VG Media Network for now. So go on, give them a look - and see which one takes your fancy! I’m certain there will be something there for any kind of gamer!

    Hey Buddy, yeah I don’t play much on the PC bar the ‘must play’ games.

    I have a twin brother whom has all of the ‘must play’ PC games and a few more. So I usually play the games he has.

    I do love some of the classics; Monkey Island, Doom II and Age of Empires.

    Hehe, well everyone has their preferences. I haven’t actually played much of any console games, heck the only non-PC gaming platform I’ve owned was a Gameboy Pocket (yikes).

    I have played on just about every console since the SNES, but always over at friends. Never really had the urge to go out and get one, because I’ve always had too much to play on my PC anyway ;)

    Eh, what the point of something like this? Seems like they each have a very different focus.

  4. author Droniac Says:

    That’s mostly the point really. Here’s this bunch of bloggers who all cover gaming in a different way - and try to help each other improve their blogs. Honestly, what better way is there to get proper critique and exposure?

    Furthermore, visiting the VG Media Network allows a gamer to visit nearly a dozen gaming sites, each with their own take on games and gaming. So if you go from one to the other, you’re not going to find exactly the same stuff, but (mostly) completely different gaming coverage!
