To try and do our best at serving you, our members, we ask if you enjoy reading our news coverage. Are there things you wish we had more of? Are there things you wish we'd do away with?

Just remember to keep criticism constructive. Destructive criticism will only hurt you in the ned because we're trying to find out what you want as a forum.

Personally i feel there is just a little more we could add but there's only so much that I can do i guess... Well, i hope that you all enjoy posting and have fun gaming.

This place has news before any other place that I was at. It barly misses any new releases and I think that that is good!

The only reason I have to go to other sites is the fact that there are no screenshots with the news here.

If there were screenshots this would be my only source for news and previews.

Typically I have a limited scope for games so I pretty much just look at the headlines and if something catches my eye then I will read the story.

The news is great for example about the news in MGS3. I checked the other sites for screen shots but they haven't got any news yet!! so the news is "brilliant"

Mad, the news is spot on, it is always up to date and very informative. Other sites I visit usually come out with news a day or so after you have gave it.

Top news and waiting for more

pjb, there are pics of MGS3 out there now, though most are just pulls from the leaked movie.

The movie shows Snake, who is scheduled to be fully playable this time, eating a snake(yes, eating), jumping down a waterfall, and fighting baddies. Looks like it'll take place somewhere in Russia....or at least part of the game will at least. My guess is that he'll meet up with Liquid once again....otherwise known as Shalashaska.

Well, i hope that you all enjoy posting and have fun gaming.

The news here is fantasic madhtr. I like it. It would be better if I could put wrestling news at the top of the general section pinned like for monthly payperviews. But I enjoy this sites news. Keep up the hard work.

Just a quick little addendum. Lyn and Jim also do news so i'm not the only one. I am looking into possibly adding new materials that we currently don't have but we'll see how well that works out. We'll keep you all posted and remember that your thirst for knowledge is what steers us to deliver the news that you look for. Well, i hope that you all enjoy posting and have fun gaming.

Masterman,

Your starting to p :swear: s off a lot of people, myself being one of them.

Why does post count matter anyway?

Does it make you cooler?

Does it make you a better member?

Does it earn more respect?

The answer is no to the three questions above.

If you could take the time to look in the Latest News Area you will see why Mad's post count has gone up so quickly. Mad has been very busy bringing us members the latest news from E3.

Enough with the wrestling already, you are the only one who thinks that wrestling is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Wrestling does not deserve its own thread pinned in the General Area.

Give it a break already, if your so p :swear: d off with this forum why do keep coming back?

If he keeps this :swear: about Madhtr and post counts up, he soon won't have a choice about whether he wants to come back or not...

The reason, Mad has sometimes upto 100 posts a day is because he's posting 100 news items a day, FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

Now you can either stop moaning about your little WWE wrestling reports and post counts, or you will be banned. You got that?
 :swear:

[SIZE=2]<span style="font-family:arial">Consider Daniel's post up above your final warning,Masterman-we have said before that post count means nothing in regards to how one is percieved,it's what is posted.The majority of mad's posts are,as mentioned,in providing actual gaming news for all the members,even yourself.This constant crying about other's posts counts and moaning about your WWE reports is plain spam and will not be tolerated any more. </span>[/SIZE]

I don't really look at the news on APi much, mainly because I have a Gamecube (though there is Gamecube coverage now), and also because i get most of my information from Nintendo Official Magazine, which has pictures and screenshots. I understand the restriction of bandwith and all that on the site. Still, it has the most up to date info, as the magazine is only monthly. It's also quicker by far than my internet, which is sloooooooo.........
