Welcome to Around the Controller
This is the first post to the new blog Around the Controller. This is also the first blog in the Around the Controller Network. We are excited to start a new set of blogs all centered on the video game industry, and issues of interest to gamers.
AroundTheController.com takes from the old idea of friends and co-workers standing around the water cooler talking. Here we are all going to be around the video game controller, talking about issues or experiences related to video games. We hope to have content come from the readers of the site, and will encourage anyone who wants to submit experiences, reviews, or thoughts to us. I can not guarantee they will get published, but I will try to get as many up as I can as long as I feel they are appropriate. I will post a list of criteria later about what content is acceptable, and what is not. Within a couple of weeks we will also be doing a regular Podcast relating to content on the site and some unique content that is exclusive to the Podcast itself.
As I mentioned before AroundTheController.com, is going to be part of the Around the Controller Network. In the coming days we will have the following sites up and running in our little online family:
These sites will be where fans of those specific consoles can go to get all the latest news, and our personal reviews of consoles, accessories, and of course games. We will also be producing a Podcast specifically for each site. While AroundtheContoller.com content itself will be dedicated to general gaming news and editorials.
And finally the newest member of the Around the Controller Network is:
This site will be a daily blog of the video game experiences of the writers for the Around the Controller Network. This is kind of a day by day diary of what we are playing and some of the stories of our gaming lives online and offline. We are really excited to have Charlie George and Tired Thumbs join our family.
