Eurogamers - gaming community portal - Image 1We know that everyone may be familiar with the online video game news site called Eurogamer. Now, this site recently put up a new community portal for -who else?- video game fans and players.

Basically, the portal is somewhat like MySpace, or Friendster for that matter, and Eurogamer itself is not ashamed to admit this. Community members will be able to set up their own page, update their profile, join and create user groups, and ultimately communicate with other members.

Eurogamer Managing Director Rupert Loman is quite happy with this development and mentioned that they are actually planning to launch the site in five different European languages later this year. He added that there is more to come but for now, they are quite contented with what they have,

The Eurogamers launch is the first step in our plan to offer new ways of interacting with gamers. The reaction to the site from our group of beta testers has been overwhelmingly positive, and we're looking forward to developing the site to its full potential.


Lastly, Ubisoft pledged its full support to Eurogamers by promoting its latest Xbox 360 title Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW 2), which will also become available in Europe on PlayStation 3 (PS3) a little later.

Sensational headlines for a crap site. Bunch of sensationalists trying to get readers, the myspace of games has been done to death. This isn't news, just a site launch announcement, woopie!

ERM... hellooooo - i fink SONY has this sewn up already with its forth-coming-magical-thing called HOME :)



Eurogamer shoulda scrapped the idea along time ago, how can a website compete with a big big games goaliath? And with news on Atari jumping in on the act.... dear dear..... lmfao :)

Mind you, while it may not be first, I'm sure it'll be just as retarded.
