Hey guys,

I am posting here as I know your all into gaming if your reading this so I thought I would come here to tell you about my gaming blog.

http://play40uk.blogspot.com

My Play40UK Blog contains articles on the latest games and oldest games so you can find out about games. We have new articles each day and we are looking for some more dedicated writers to write articles on games.

Check out the blog and tell me what you think.

If interested in becoming an author, please contact me via PM.

Thanks

Ed

Play40UK sucks, I owned it a while back because you treated me like crap. ;)

Edit: And oh, you're not doing it, Chris is doing all the work so why not give him any credit? He's doing all the reviews and everything..

This is completely different to the forum. Its a blog.. not a forum.

Yes but if I wanted news I could go to IGN or something? It'll be a hell lot better.

I prefer Kotaku

You like writing stuff you should use it for like practice, it'll also be good to show people if you're after a job as a reviewer

You can get paid to review?

Yeah, it is journalism, so you could work for IGN and get paid around £500 for a review or if you work for Xbox World Magazine you get paid very highly per month.

You always get a bit of criticism for owning a blog as blogs haven't quite won everyone over yet, people always assume the bigger news/reviewer sites are better. I prefer reviews and articles like yours, they feel professionally written and they have a amateur touch which is nice, you feel your one of the few people reading the blog, as if it was made just for you.

I read a few articles and I think they're good quality, and so is the stuff you write good quality, I enjoyed most of them, especially the Gran Turismo 4 blog.

Nice work, keep it up! I've subscribed ;)

Edit: Just ran a copyscape.com check and it appears hardly any bits of the articles are yours, you've just collected loads of paragraphs from different review sites.

You get loads for playing games and reviewing them. That said, you get paid loads for writing the stuff yourself ;)
