Hello all,

I just wanted to let you know that you can now add our articles to GameStats.com. It's a new site that puts all the press reviews for a game in one place.

You can submit the artilces here: http://www.gamestats.com/usersubs/submitArticle.html?dest=http://www.h eroesofgaming.com/

I'm trying to get a widget so they can be submitted directly from the main site, but the link will have to do for now.

Is this like metacritic or game rankings?

rsstites · Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 4:11 pm Post subject:

It's exactly like GameRankings.com. We were added to RottenTomatoes.com years ago, but never did anything with it. We can also join GameRankings.com soon, but I need to finish transfering all the reviews to the new site first.

Are we allowed to submit to all sites including metacritic, gamerankings, and any other game sites?

I know that we're not part of GameRankings, but you could always try the others. I've never been to the other one that you speak of.

I looked at metacritic, and we are not included on that site either.

I just contacted them, and sent them an aplication. We'll have to see what they say. RottenTomatoes.com added us, then didn't give us the ability to add reviews. We need 150 more reviews to join GameRankings.com. Metacritic seemed promising, but they may want more reviews too.

How many reviews do we have currently?

rsstites · Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2008 2:15 pm Post subject:

We're at about 174 live reviews and at least 100 I havn't published yet (including some off of ezinearticles.com). I can also pad those numbers a bit by going back and re-publishing PC and PS3 versions of multi-platform games.

But the answer currently is 174 live reviews.

It looks like about 330 reviews in total to be on Game Rankings. What about Metacritic and Game Stats? Do they have a minimum?

rsstites · Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2008 4:48 pm Post subject:

Your correct about Game Rankings, they said we should be fine with 300 total reviews and 15 new ones a month.

Metacritic and Game Stats numbers aren't set in stone. They just make sure the site is professional and updated regularly.

How long will it take for us to get to 300 reviews?

rsstites · Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:00 pm Post subject:

I could probably do it within a month, but I'm trying to spread out older reviews to make sure we can also keep up daily content. Even if it is only a couple articles a day.

Anyone who is interested in adding reviews to the main site as our primary reviews (instead of member reviews) post the review in the Member Review category, pm me, or email me.

Metacritic and game stats wants sites that are professional? What is their interpretation of professional? Is any site that is updated regularly professional? Also, what do they mean updated regularly? Does that mean a new review daily?

rsstites · Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 6:55 pm Post subject:

Usually it means a commercial site that has about 15 reviews a month. It's extremely subjective, but they don't want to add blogs or inactive sites.

I think they are watching us right now, and evaluating how much we are actually updated.

Shocked

They could even be reading this post right now... They could even be you!!! laughing3
