Plus XP

Games journalism has really grown for me in the past month, this has triggered a lot of thinking on my part. I mean I started Plus XP as something to vent out my opinions on games, then it soon changed to something Leon and I did. Regardless of the fan base or whatever, we love writing about games and this was the perfect place to do it. It didn’t matter if they were old or new, it was just a place for us to vent out all thoes opinions we had about games and hoping on the off chance someone listened.

Looking at the number of  hits the blog gets I notice we have come up with  small fan base, and to see more than 10 hits a day, even though it is a small feat,  brings a smile to my face. So keep it going guys its awesome.

But as you full well know, in the past month or so I have been recruited to another site as staff writer. This has shown me that games journalism, is something that I really want to do. Hell I know I still need a bit more practice yet but with the training I am getting, my passion for writing about games can only get better really.

I bet some of you there are thinking ‘where the hell is he going with this?’ Well Plus XP has applied for and obtained its first ever Press Passes to a games Expo. This is huge news for the site. Plus XP will be heading to Eurogamer Expo 2009 on the 30th and the 31st of August.

As this is such big news for us we have decided to up our game a tad. If we plan to get some good coverage at this expo we need some hands on deck,  there is only so much Leon and myself can do over 1 or 2 days. So in the next couple of weeks you will see posts being submitted by the Author Plus XP! These posts are posts written by contributors who will help us out at the expo and possibly, if they want to, have constant contribution on the site. Our first contribution went up yesterday by our first contributor Ray, if you were unfortunate to miss out click here (or if you happen to be on the Plus XP front page its just a case of scrolling down)

Anyway that’s enough boring talk from me. I will give you guys something nice to read later. Just thought I would clear things up.

Oh and also make sure you check out the facebook page discussion board. If there is anything you want covered from the expo (or you just wanna say Hi to the team) do it there.
