Hi guys,

We're looking to push TGC with some online advertising, banner exchanges, link swaps, etc and want to go and hit game related sites. The site doesn't have to be about PC games, it could be emulation, console gaming, etc - all I'd like to know is - what sites do you visit? If you could post your URLs here I'd appreciate it. The sites don't have to be big mass-market ones (like Gamespy), they could be small hobbyist sites (infact we get on best with those). But please if it's a site you really like then we'd love to know about it so we can get in touch with them.

Cheers,

Rich

I used to visit www.ign.com regularly, but the advertising now is so irritating, abundant and in-your-face that I rarely go there anymore.

I agree IGN sucks, I was a big Voodoo Extreme fan until IGN bought them out.

www.bluesnews.com
www.xbox.com
thats pretty much it for gaming. About 100 other sites for non games.

I would put a banner for you guys on my site when the flash one is done ( 3 weeks or so )

Yes I agree, but the cool thing about this website draws a ton of gaming traffic and DBPro could be advertised there.

In my opinion, that would be *** HUGE ***

Ahh yes, I also visit Penny Arcade on a daily basis, that's some damn good stuff.

Don't really like PVP though, and don't get me started on Movie Comics gah.
