So, this is something that I have been planning for probably about 6 months now. I'm just now starting to get it out of the "planning phase" and into the "development phase". SherrardGaming is going to be a gaming news/blog/review website, where me and a few other friends (and maybe some people from here) will post news about new video games, new gaming consoles, review games, or just blog about games in general. I really want to stand out from the rest of the gaming sites like this one and I want to have the community reviewing games, not just me. So the community will also be able to post game reviews, pending staff approval of course. The reason I decided to write about it here is because I know there are a lot of gamers on here, and even some who review games themselves, so I was hoping they could provide insight, tips, suggestions, etc. I am also hoping to incorporate some youtube gaming channels into the site as well, like Assman gaming channel, and a few others with their permission of course. And down the line create my own gaming channel So, while the website may not be functional yet, any tips, suggestions?

Really cool idea this, all I can suggest at this point is to open the site with as much content as possible to start, and keep it coming in thick and fast to generate a community to get you off the ground. I'd love to help as well, anything you need just give me a shout.

I'd love to help as well, anything you need just give me a shout. Yea, I think that will be my biggest challenge, opening up the site with plenty of content already written up and posted, while trying to keep up with posting daily (even if no one is reading it) just to make the site look active and healthy. Glad you're willing to help as well If you want to add a few reviews, or blogs for when the site opens, then let me know I'll make you an account. I'm also hoping that if it does get off the ground, and is a success, I hope to have monthly giveaways. One month it could be something small like a steam giftcard, gamestop, or maybe a free "SherrardGaming" Jacket xD (which I have some of), or just a PS4 or XB1 game. And other months something bigger, like a PS4, XB1, WII, etc. But I'm definitely taking my time with it and have already been working on it for almost 6 months.

I have 20 game reviews in video format, and over 100 written ones I could post on your site, assuming retrospectives are all right.

If you want to add a few reviews, or blogs for when the site opens, then let me know I'll make you an account. Yes please, I'm not as prolific as Ayen but I have a few reviews, and blog posts too - I've done one on the value of early access, the Final Fantasy VII Remake and even one on how awesome PC steering wheels are. Giveaways are a cool idea too, it will definitely give people that added incentive to keep coming back.

For some reason I am immensely interested in this PC steering wheel review.

The one I have works on GTA as well (some don't apparently, at least not without a lot of effort), it's total chaos trying to steer those cars during a police chase. Can't imagine my life without a wheel now I have one.
But anyway, hope the stuff I've added so far is ok, the site so far looks awesome.

I'll just have to find a PS4 wheel. And yea what you've added so far is great
