well if gotfrag wants it to come back, i had an idea that i figured i would post and see what people think
basically turn DPAD into a blog type review site. the key is that its community-driven, so there are not official authors, reviews are written by the community and posted. perhaps we could be allowed to attach a small number of pictures to the review too.
people can get a game, post a review, and then obviously there can be comments and stuff at the bottom.
reviews can be approved by moderators, but the only requirement should really be to keep things appropriate and not profane.
my reason for suggesting this is DPAD is totally dead and i think this would be a very different style from the rest of the gotfrag sections. perhaps bring some life back to DPAD and it would be an interesting experiment to see how it works.
yes, gamespot and other game sites do this, but we have a very different demographic than some of those sites i feel... personally id much rather read OpTimUs swooning over halo 3 and impacT talking about how terrible every game on xbox360 is than some 12 year old rave about how he beat fable 2 in 25 hours straight.
Or they could just shut down dpad, since they clearly dont care and doing what you propose require some reworking on the CMS, which I doubt they'd want to invest in.
DPAD being brought back officially won't happen, but we could just make it community driven through the forums. Wasn't GotFrag that from the get go until MLG came in and did whatever they did (or didn't do)? Post deals, thoughts on games, exchange gamertags/psn id's/friend codes, montages, whatever gaming related or not gaming related.
