    Probably you can become Amazon affiliate for their video game niche, can i know your site URL ? you can PM me, probably we can work together if you like. I have some contents about 4-5 pages related to video game niche.

    If you have large volume of traffic you should try Google Adsense. another option is to sell space for banners on networks like BuySellAds.

    You can add banners, google adsense and info links to your gaming site. You can also sell advertisement space as well to earn even more.

    Join Amazon Associates and add fancy banners of the latest & upcoming video games. Add some PS3, Xbox, Nintendo Wii & 3DS banners too.

    Remember to publish original stuff and index them with Google.

    CPA offers and even the all so famous adsense can get you rolling. Just make sure that you choose a highly targeted offer when choosing the offers to promote.

    Amazon and google adsense are probably going to be 2 of your best options.

    The problem with gaming sites, the markets are already saturated. With sites like filefront, ign, pcgamer, steamcommunity,,,, its going to be difficult to get any serious traffic. Without traffic, your not going to make any money.

    For game sites, I find Google AdSense to pay poorly.. like 1 to 2 cents per click.

    Is it very content heavy? Adsense + Kontera or Adsense + Infolinks
    If you have a ton of pageviews, you can try to get into CPM networks

    I would try ad-sense that should be good for the type of website you have.
