We'll be expanding to three more games. Which game would you prefer? (please vote)

Thank You,
Donny

PS, the top three will be chosen.

honostly i think a CSS section would be good, but we would have to have SOMETHING to make people come, custom maps, custom skins, a server, SOMETHING. so im not goign to suggest it upfront

Halo: weve tried, it became huge then died into nothing

Runescape: i couldnt imagine that actually working

GTA: honostly, cant say I'd expect any SINGLE console game to be worthy of its own forum

Medal of honor, or COD4 -might- work but we'd have to have something to offer of some type. thats how we survived back in the diablo days, we had a strong community and people who would release... "software" for it.

I'm not sure what games to add would be best..but this is what I'd shoot for:

Something newer that still has decent popularity. Something that has the ability to actually generate discussion (a game that makes people ask questions, discuss things, etc. Some games just don't do t his). And lastly, if possible..a game that doesn't have the best "official forums" so we can offer something that the official doesn't.

I know that makes it tricky, but if we add a game that has a great official homepage, with great forums, why would they come here instead of there? We had this problem with WoW. Partially because there's not a lot to discuss, and partially because most people post at the official forums.

Halo - Had it before. I personally hate the community/fan base. You have to offer them something to get here that not other place has

Grand Theft Auto - Dunno about this

Runescape - Had it before. didnt work out

Medal of Honor - Im pretty sure MoH games are in the shadows of CoD games

I've heard good things about this game. But if it's going to be released in a month we'd need people to hurry and add content before it's released..so visitors can actually get something useful from it (and then be inspired to post).

Runescape is dead, Halo sucks dick. Hell, most of the games you've chosen are pretty bad. If anything, i'd go with GTA, cos GTA4 just came out.

It needs to be well in advance of the game's release.

Age of Empires FTW.

GTA4 is the only thing you can rely on at this time.

You could also give Halo or Call of Duty a chance.

I actually agree. You really need time to prepare, and then promote.

Honestly.... Lets work with what we got here.

We have a dying game forum.... But our chatting forums are most active... but the problem is a lot of people are stupid immature and rude.

Try marketing Xbox 360 gamers. Gamers not games. Because Xbox gamers are usually all dicks

If you can somehow get all those *******s to be *******s on Our forums it could be nice. Make it an Xbox forum where its like xbox.... you can call someone a cocklick and not get introuble for it.

If you have a wide array of people on it we could have tourneys in all different games. It will be funsies.

FINE. If you want a great game that should really take off - and nobody else will really promote on their site?

Warhammer Online.

Warhammmer isnt even out yet. How do you know he will be the only one who likes it?

Plus, this section is all about releasing your opinions for game expansion.

makes sense to have an FPS section though, games like UT3 have hype and that sargate game could catch on..
