Suggested Blog Post Reading

My suggested blog post reading. It is written by the writer of The Walking Dead: Epsiode 4 and was posted on the official PlayStation blog. I thought it was a very good read and helped build up the hype for Episode 4.

 

Analyzing A Top Gaming Blog - Video Games Blogger

As part of my Electronic Business Management class, I was tasked with analyzing a top and successful blog in my niche area. I chose Video Games Blogger.

This is a blog post about my website for PS3 Dimensions. My web site is still in the beginning stages, but I plan on adding a lot more.

 

Some PlayStation Links I Have Found Useful

This is just a few links that I have found useful and wanted to let others know about if they haven’t already.

 

Batman: Arkham City Review

This is my first official gaming review. I chose to do it on Batman: Arkham City, which is one of my favorites and I have been playing a lot of it recently.

 

Product Recommendation: PlayStation Vita

I recommended the PlayStation Vita in this blog post. I discussed the features, games, and more.

Analyzing A Top Gaming Blog - Video Games Blogger

 

In my task of analyzing a top blog in my niche area, I decided on Video Games Blogger. The blog site covers video games and posts news, reviews, tips and guides. Video Games Blogger posts reviews on the newest games and also posts helpful related content to new games such as character lists, weapons lists, walkthroughs, videos, and secrets. 

 

They have a presence on Facebook and Twitter with thousands of followers. The advertisements on the site appear to be all video game related and advertises some of the newest games. This is good advertising because their audience is gamers. I have seen other gaming web sites where the advertisements are more random and not game related. According to Alexa.com, their traffic rank in the United States is 13,704. There have also been at least 2,171 sites linking in.

 

I think this is a great video game source for gamers who want the latest news, walkthroughs, and reviews. One area I think they could improve upon is their site layout. I think it is a bit too ‘busy’ and it looks a little disorganized compared to other game sites.  For example, the first 5 of 6 postings on the news page is all about just one game. I would organize it a bit better and group them instead. 

 

Video Games Blogger is what a video game blog should be like. It has news, reviews, walkthroughs, exclusive videos, and a poll of the week. Seeing how this blog and other gaming blogs operate has helped me shape my own blogging strategy.

The Walking Dead: Episode 4 Coming Soon, New Trailer and Screens

I am a regular reader of the official PlayStation blog and I recommend it to others interested in gaming and PlayStation for news and updates. I would like to promote PlayStation’s blog post, titled ‘The Walking Dead: Episode 4 Coming Soon, New Trailer and Screens.' I think it really builds up the hype for the fourth episode. I have played the first three episodes on the PlayStation 3 and Walking Dead: Episode 4 is probably my most anticipated game knowing that it is due out very soon. 

 

For those who have played the first three episodes, you know that “you’ve been put through an emotional meat grinder unparalleled in interactive storytelling”, says Gary Whitta. He goes on to say all the horrible things the player has already encountered such as murder, betrayal, and insanity, and you think how could it be any worse than that. Now, Whitta assures readers that it’s about to get a lot worse in this emotional thrill ride of a game.

 

Whitta gives a quick recap of the previous episode of the game and introduces episode 4. He also provides a new trailer and screens for the game, as I have provided one above. So, if you are a fan of The Walking Dead game or even the comic book series or TV show, please give this blog a read. If you already know what the game is all about, it should build up the hype for the upcoming episode. For those who have not yet played the game series, give the blog a read and let’s see if it will grab your interest in starting the game from the beginning.
