As you may have noticed things have come to a grinding halt... this however is going to change, below i have outlined my plans...

Redesign the site to a generic look (to cover all gaming systems, Xbox, PS3, PC etc...)
The news will be provided from outside sites with use of RSS feeds broken down into the relevant category.
The community section will be staying as will the current content and users etc... but will be archived to allow for the new direction.
Site optimization and bug fixes
Overhaul of the forum... if it stays
dedicated sections for certain games... i.e. sleeping dogs, gtav etc...

This is just a small run down of what i am going to do, this will be done over a few weeks - months depending of my time due to work :)

There are also spaces open for staff members... just PM me for more info :)
