    If you're targeting intelligent gamers, then check out Play-Asia.com. They have a lot of nice import stuff, and are way ahead of the USA when it comes to PlayStation/Nintendo hardware and games....

    But if you're targeting Xbox/PC stuff.. then I have no idea :)

    You can also look at commission junction to see what they have. I would also put links from amazon for best selling games

    I know I shouldn't really hawk the affiliate I'm with but you thought of the new UVME paid-to-play online games network? Check my sig for more, still in pre-registration but I put a banner on my arcade site and its doin well so far.

    Are you saying that Xbox/PC gamers arnt intelligent? Because If I remember correctly, theres no games for playstation which are worth the $60 price tag of the game.

    Errr no. I didn't say anything of the sort. I specifically said that I have no idea about Xbox or PC games. And I really don't. I just meant that Play-Asia probably isn't the best affiliate to use if you're targeting kids, or people who can just as easily buy their copy of Madden at Walmart.

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PS3 is $49. Which in my opinion is worth every cent :)

    Yes, I would certainly try out uVme if you are looking for an affiliate for your game site.

    Agreed 100% on the Play-Asia part.

    As Kerosene said, its for the more clever gamers and also very good for related merchandising. I run a Resident Evil site and are able to promote tons of toys, books, DVD's etc.

    Also try to sell game posters via art.com or allposters.com

    You could try cpa affiliate networks and their freebie/entertainment/gaming offers, you can also try cpm ad networks. These are the sort of things I am currently using on my arcade site at the moment and are doing well with them. Well infact I have been using cpm ads for over 2 years now.
