    If you are willing to invest a little, you can buy traffic via facebook ads (get more likes for your facebook page) or google adwords.

    Sounds good. I haven't used them though, so am trying to figure out how to not burn my budget.

    Try a well done Press Release with good distribution. You'll pay money for it, but it's great exposure for your blog.

    There are some good game forums like gamespot, Videogamer. You can promote your game blog there and participate in the community, help people in playing games and getting their level done in the games.

    The first thing I'd do is invest in a domain name and hosting to show everyone you mean business. No point directing traffic there otherwise IMO.

    Keep the blogspot account for SEO purposes.

    Another thing I'd do is create awesome content people will want to read - but being a game review website I assume that's something you've already done.

    Next thing I'd do is drive traffic via social media, whilst gradually building up my SEO rankings.

    You can look for other games websites, like forums and blogs and you can build your fan pages through social media websites too.

    I would start with making comments on gaming blogs and forums which allows you to promote your site through your signature. So everytime you make a post you would have a link that goes back to your site. Make sure to post good info that would be helpful to the members of the thread. This is great if you don't have much of a budget. If you do have some money to spare you can outsource the SEO, so you can start getting ranked for some gaming keywords. This will also get you some decent traffic.

    I think that video marketing is the best for gaming niche!
    Look on YouTube and see how much views those videos are getting!
    Also, my opinion is that many people interested in games,
    spend some time watching videos on Youtube.
    So, making videos and uploading it on YouTube is one of the ideas.
    Make sure to do your keyword research homework
    before you actually create videos.

    Yeah, youtube would be the best way to get free traffic to your website. You can make few videos talking about the hottest games.
    Im 100% sure this will increase your traffic.

    Share your posts on social networks and social bookmarking sites. Try to build a community of fans who are interested in computer games. Write a few reviews and submit them to article directories. Join forums and chat boards that are related to your niche. This is a great way to interact with people who are interested in free browser games.
