Rockstar Gaming

**Zidane** · 3 Weeks Ago

I've wanted to make a fansite for Rockstar Games in general for years, but never really got around to it, since I wasn't too sure how to go about it. Covering past games is almost pointless at this stage, so I'm only covering news for Rockstar's newer and upcoming titles. It's more or less a news driven site, rather than a full resource - for now. I do intend to write reviews for games I'm able to play (I only have a Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable, and a special Xbox 360 that's red ringed), so any Xbox 360 exclusives will have to wait.

Anywho, the URL is http://www.rockstargaming.com . It's a very simple design I came up with, along with Slim Trashman's help with putting it on the screen, and Rappo converting the page into the proper code. Thanks for the help, you guys!

So the site is up, yet not fully released... I certainly won't be putting it on GTAGaming's main page anytime tomorrow. But let me know what you think of the general idea and page.

Thanks guys!

I like the colors (white and orange!). The news posts need a better sense of separation, so try borders and the like.

I know this seems silly, but a rockstar logo-esque frame (complete with color fill) with a news post contained inside would be awesome. I'm not sure how you'd base the rest of the page around it to avoid some design clashing, but it'd be sweet.

I'll try to sketch up my idea real quick in Photoshop later today!

I do agree that the news posts need better separation. I'll be messing with that later today. If you can get a quick sketch to show what you mean, that would be great too

I only realised this cause of your link in your sig D:

**Zidane** · 3 Weeks Ago

That's why its there

**zombienm** · 3 Weeks Ago

Definitely a good idea, and you look like you're off to a good start! I hope it continues to grow well.

According to the statistics, the site's receiving about 15 visitors a day... and I didn't even advertise anywhere besides here yet. Not too bad, not too bad.

You should get a ton of publicity going around once you decide it's primetime for the site and get link on the frontpage here

Yeah, definitely. I just want observe how it goes with general news for the next week or two before going live with this
