    well this year i have convened our annual magazine editor to add a Gaming section in our magazine :D ......... so i was just wondering what are the stuffs that i can add. Number of pages allowed 3 - 5.

    This is what i have thought :-
    1-2 pages for game review ( we are actually thinking of writing a comparison between WOW3 and WAR HAMMER ....... this would also serve as there review)

    and may be 1 page for top five games of the year 2008 and may be the top five most anticipated games of the year 2009

    now is there any thing else that i can add to it ........... :D

    oh and the section is supposed to be completed by the mid of next month so we have quite some time ................ :)

    Yeah

    You could also so a piece in upcoming games within the time period until the next issue???
    I mean if it's monthly then have an article dedicated to giving info on all the games expected to be released in that month, or ones that have just been released

    Will you be talking about PC games mostly or console games? Well most of us here are dedicated PC gamers yet I bet the audience that will read the section in the magazine will be console gamers, I'm just assuming. You could talk about upcoming games of 2009, and review a few games that have just come out.

    yeah we have thought of it and we decided to write two reviews one would be a PC game and other one a console game but then the question is ps3 or xbox 360 .. lol

    and the upcoming games and games of year 2008 has two sections. one for PC games and other one for Console (irrespective of what console it is).

    well i guess that sounds good .... :D
