Two new Irish games sites seek volunteers

Two new Irish computer games website, ‘Irish Gamers Ressurected!’ (sic), and ‘Next Gen Ireland’ are looking for volunteers to write. The new sites launch at a time when updates on IrishGamer.ie have come to a standstill.

Both sites are in the early stages, Next Gen Ireland has recently launched and is publishing content (including press releases).

Meanwhile, the blogspot-based Irish Gamers Ressurected!, which we previous reported grew out IrishGamers.ie’s forums, is now looking for staff, but so-far the site only contains internal announcements.

In other Irish games website news (or at least news to us), gamingireland.net have started staff blogs – unfortunately login is needed to view, and registration was not working when we tried.

Irish Gamers Ressurected is located at http://igressurected.blogspot.com/, while Next Gen Ireland is at http://www.nextgenireland.citymax.com/. There are more links to Irish computer games websites here.

GamingIreland.net revamps, with blood lose

GamingIreland.net, an Irish multi-format computer games site, has gone through a site revamp. Most notably their site header has gone from what looks like bloodstains and bullet holes to games graphics depicting a car and a soldier (pictured above, top and bottom, respectively).   

Gaming Ireland recently stated that from last month they started to be “official supplier of Gaming Reviews” to Irish technology magazine ‘PC Live!’.

The site bills it self “First and foremost” as a “community site for gamers in Ireland”. It has an extensive download section, game servers, more then ten forums, as well as news, features, and review sections. The news often appears on the main page as word-for-word press releases, with a ‘you need to login’ request when the ‘read more’ linked is followed.
