    Hello,

    I want to start writing a lot of articles on content that is 100% oriented around games. Such articles and things I would like to write about should include press releases etc, however how can I actually discover whats 'new'.

    What is a good source for knowing whats new.

    I can do reviews quite easilym that is of games. And general gaming tips, but whats a good source to actually know whats 'new'.

    What sources do you use? Or is this a trade secret?

    Thanks.

    The best way is to put put RSS feeds on most top Games website..and check it as frequently as possible. Are doing a game blog? A question out of curiousity :)

    Kalyse,

    I would seek out video game sites like IGN.com and read them often. That site has loads of information.

    Next, get on the boards and pay attention to external links. Start making a list of game maker's sites, fan sites and so forth.

    I'd also hit Google and type in the platforms (psp, ps3, wii, xbox, etc) that you want to cover and look for sites to bookmark.

    If you see any feeds, add them so you can keep in the loop.

    I hope I gave you some ideas.

    Good luck with your writing!

    Jason

    No, just I want unique content often for my main site. See below.
