    If you are creating a gaming blog then the first .net would be more ideal because it is more relevant to the blog even though it is a .net, it will still have better serps then the .com right away because of the keywords in the domain.

    Also, in my opinion, the alza domain isn't catchy or short to justify using it to try and have a brand of a unique word domain.

    I hope that helps!

    At first site, when I read both of them, I chose the first. I went back, looked at them again, and still the first. It's definitely representative of what the site will be about, and it's a LOT easier to say/read than the second one.

    The first...I would highly suggest hyphenating between Gamers and community.

    Search engines don't look at a url and know where to put the space, Google, for instance, will see it as one word: gamercommunity. Doesn't help your organic results much. If you hyphenate gamer-community.net, then you have one strong, relevent word "gamer" and one strong phrase "gamer community" working for you...

    Just a suggestion...Take or leave. Either way, hit the first...It's just better :)

    Definitely the first one it is precise and to the point, direct is better than making the person guess what it is you are promoting.

    the first is more descriptive of the theme...
    on the other hand the second one would be bit more unique..
    but both are kinda long
