GTM Website

Avatars on the left.

And an archive. To include previews and reviews and links to developers and publishers.

+1 for the reviews archive. GTM reviews are some of the better ones so you'd probably be doing yourselves a big favour by putting them online, might even reel in some new subscribers! You could just upload the reviews an issue behind if you're concerned about people just reading them online rather than buying the mag.

Other than that, a poll of the day or something might be interesting. Can't really think of anything else.

All the latest news would be great Rick! Go straight head to head with Joystiq, I think your style is much better.

Obviously if resources could stretch this far, it would be a job in itself covering all the games industry news etc, and with Imagine's Nowgamer website up and running it may seem unnecessary to have a second website doing that too.

I'm going for a bit of user content. It's what makes the mag for me and one of the reasons I went for it over edge (there were many others in fairness) but it seems to differntiate you. It's always nice to read published stuff by people you talk to eery night.

i enjoy reading silly features and countdowns- like the ones on the total film website- top 7 disgusting movie toilets etc.. theres better than that of course, thats just the only one i can remember!

I think there are a few good ideas floating around in the topic, definately food for thought!

Personally, from a web developer point of view, I'd work around a Portal system, with everything being tied into the forum rather than two seperate entities. The best thing about using PHPBB as a forum base is the ease of integrating external pages into the forum, I think this would be the best way forward seeing as the forum is already up and active.

I'm not sure how much of an understanding the forum administrators have in PHPBB integrating, but there are thousands of help files on the web, or an e-mail my way and i'll be happy to help!

im too mean to buy the mag but still want to enjoy the ultra hig class journalism featured in said quality publication *bats eyelashes*.

A bit of a typo led me to this: http://www.gamestm.co.uk/%5C/

Looks good

Shh! That's a big secret for now and isn't quite finished yet.

As you may have noticed, the stories are all placeholder and many of the links won't work.

[Sly Reflex]

Isn't that just the nowgamer site with a g™ skin?

[marthagogo]

i like it.

nice find.

Reviews archive and editorial/blog sections. Oh, and a podcast.

[fatboyslick]

A Review archive would be most most welcome.
However, this would negate the need for buying past issues so I can't imagine IP agreeing to it

[Pious the chosen]

How about moving some in-mag stuff online (EG the 'collections' pages,Hall of Fame) there by allowing more upto date news in the mag. You could expand the letters from America & Japan too with all the online bells and whistle like podcasts etc and make them a little bit(more) interesting.


Oh and a forum...

Oh and a forum...

That'll never catch on.
