    I see PR should be fine from all of the work you've done.

    - Maybe try buying advertising space from other popular game sites? (maybe picture ads)..
    - Pay bloggers to blog about your site

    You can try organizing some competitions, game of the year/month/week competitions, etc.

    If the game is original and innovative, contact game and gadget
    related blogs, magazines and even TV shows.

    Or how about making a video of an expert playing the game, and
    sticking it on YouTube?

    I create, advertise and then sell video game forums I can get a video game forum from 0-70 members in a week you just have to have the right techniques like join all the major forums and make a couple posts linking to an article on your site.

    forums.nintendo.com

    Playstation.com

    gamespot.com

    Help is closer than you think. :) Here is a great post they ought to make a sticky out of here:

    I would also suggest article marketing; Write articles that your visitors and customers would find interesting and submit them to Ezinearticles.com, goarticles, and others.

    Also see about submitting articles to places like gamasutra and other gaming hubs. With all of the above, MAKE SURE not to forget your link in the bio box; If you dont know, that is a small credit blurb at the end of the article that lets people know who you are and where they can find you on the net.

    As ezine publishers and webmasters all over the net pick up your articles you will get many more backlinks and you will spike up both your page rank and your traffic.

    Good luck to you.

    writing articles should help you well. Write review-like articles about the gamoes you most like or that are very popular. Also criticize the bad ones. Send the articles to many article directories and yuo'll be getting new backlinks steadily over the next months.
