Loved the review and thanks for the info on the game. I did an article on Mortal Online which also has a crosshair combat style and of course promises to revolutionize mmo gaming. Could I also trouble you with reading the review and tell me what you…

Actually I was given advice similar to that from another PR rep based out of New York, I misspoke when I said I emailed everyday; looking back I emailed maybe 2 times per week. The best way to get response from PR is to tell them you are on a deadl…

I agree. I saw the same thing happen with CGS. Some players were being picked based on their camera appeal rather then their actual talent. This was very upsetting to a lot of hardcore gamers who were following the series and a lot of people stopped…

In hindsight, you're right actually. After reading through things again I realize that I connected a couple phrases from previous threads that linked to here with your words and Timothy's in my head. Though I still very much disagree with Timothy's…

no no, I never said anything about getting games immediately or obtaining products without doing any leg work. http://www.gamespress.com is a resource for game journalists which has press releases for video-games readily available for smaller upcom…

As Brendon said, there's no substitute for legwork. A Relationship with a gaming company takes a long time to develop. Even if you do get contact information don't expect them to just start mailing games and insider info immediately. That kind of th…

yes, definitely. I've already taken steps towards preparing an e-mail to start doing the legwork and contact publishers. I also agree with a a compilation list of resources or ways to obtain resources would be very helpful. Oh, don't forget RSS feed…

I think it would be a good idea for the members of this site to compile a list of PR they have dealt with and contact info, just saying. But the best bet if you don't know anyone from a publisher is to send an email to pr@publisherx.com, with publis…

I hope that I was constructive for you. I tell all my writers not to proof their own stuff and even with my own articles. I like to see them disagree or find something that could be added to make the article better before it goes live. Your friends…

thank you, would you be able to suggest and good RSS feeds?
March 27
thanks!, something I'll consider for any of my next articles... you're right about the racing genre!

I think that firstly you shouldn't have ranked the games. It should have just been 10 of the most competitive games, allowing readers to make up their own mind. I think the article could have been cropped a little making it shorter and more reader f…

If press releases are all you're looking for, sign up on each publisher's investor relations site for news releases. Find some RSS feeds to subscribe to also. If you want even more press releases, try PR Newswire and business wire. If you mean resou…

Not bad. Overall good choices, I would of placed some of them differently myself. And Team Fortress would of been on there. I love Top 10's, even if they are cheesy. :D

Competitive Gaming

I recently did an article titled, "Top 10: Most Competitive Video-Games" which you can find here:

http://www.rdyup.com/forums/editorials/1402-top.10.most.competitive.video-games.html

I used to be a competitive gamer myself, and had a Halo 2 team that competed in the MLG league during the early days of its inception. It was really fun, I got to compete against and even meet some of todays top Halo players. We were an above average team, but not necessarily top tier. I've al… Continue

New here!

Hey everyone! It's good to be here...

Let me share a little about myself. I am a 23 year old student living in NYC and currently attending BMCC in Manhattan. I am taking English Literature and Writing as my major, as I want to be able to write stories and possibly even help to develop video-games! I've always been very ambitious in that sense, and I've always been an avid gamer since I was a kid. Video-Games just make me feel good, and over the years my hobbies included gaming and developing we… Continue
