As of today, there is a new category at GamersGlobal.com called User-Reviews. This feature has evolved from what I dubbed "Co-op" articles (a term originally coined by Jan, who has also coded the User-Reviews) in this feedback post. more...

It took Jan 17 minutes to change the following, but I think it's a very worthwhile change: We had the problem of many negative votes for top news where we could see no reason at all for that, see this earlier posting. Then, we changed the voting system so that only registered users could vote. more...

Update: Throttled mode is off again.

This is just for those of you who recognize that there are some features missing from the site at the moment (like voting, read counter or the list of most-read
articles under "hot"): The frontend of gamersglobal.com has gone into "throttled" mode, which is meant to avoid lagging when there is very much traffic. We're looking into that right now. more...

This is just a little self-motivating news, but perhaps some of you contributors and reporters find it interesting, too: I've just noticed that GamersGlobal.com climbed to Google Page Rank 4. This is still very small, but no longer tiny. For your information, one of the leading German games websites, gamestar.de, has 7, gamepro.com has 8, and nytimes.com has 9.

Apart from enhancing the user profile (see our earlier news), we've added a new item to the top navigation (to the right of the logo) called Hot. This dynamic page shows a tagcloud of the top 100 tags of our site and also the top 10 (most read) articles of today and of "all time". more...

I am happy to announce the first result of our recent feedback discussion. From now on, existing and new users can add various (optional) additional information to their user profile, like their hometown, their favourite gaming platform, the games they are playing at the moment, all-time favourites, and so on. more...

(Update: I've reset the authoring date so that this post stays on the front page a bit longer)

Dear all, we at GamersGlobal wish you a Merry Christmas and a relaxing, peaceful holiday season. For those lucky ones who enjoy holiday time until or even after New Year's Day: Don't boast about it too much, and happy highscore hunting or zombie zapping! more...

This is the thread of GamersGlobal's first Feedback Event from December 14th. Feel free to still add questions or suggestions, we'll continue to monitor this post for a while. Our Thanks go to all participants, and also to all the people who have contributed to GamersGlobal in the last (and at the same time, very first) weeks!

With the release of Hellgate: London just a couple of days away, we thought it a good time to give you an interview with Tyler Thompson, Director of Technology at Flagship Studios and former Project Lead for Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. more...
