Did you know that TPU has a sister site devoted to games?

JC316 · Nov 10, 2008

It's located here: Gamepowerup It's still in the early stages, but traffic has died down. I am making an attempt to resurrect the site since it seems so lonely over there. I am trying to get the reviewing team back together to get more stuff, but again, we need traffic there.

If you wish to be a reviewer or news poster go here for W1z's contact info http://www.gamepowerup.com/contact.php

we need to promote it more, thats the main problem man. kudos to you for trying to get it back!

what really needs to be done is that instead of a games forum on tpu, the current slot for the games forum should be a link that takes the user to GPU and then gpu should do the same for TPU. that way users can move back and forth. also another thing i suggested was to have GPU use the same database as TPU. that way users registered at tpu can use gpu with their current accounts and vice versa. both would really stimulate traffic to both sites.

Yeah I haven't done much since my CoD4 review almost a YEAR ago! The forums have been devastated by spamming last I checked, and the traffic is so low. I wouldn't mind being a mod on that forum just to help clean it up when I have the time, I started a couple of reviews but never finished them. I started that Techpowerup Games thread well over a year ago now...that helped get the buzz going and W1z created gamepowerup!, which has great hopes, but just hasn't taken off.

Hopefully there can be enough support to get it going again! I'd be down to help get it back up to par in any way I can, but it takes more than 2 guys that are willing in the end...

panchoman · Nov 10, 2008

the fact that gamepowerup.com leads to tpu doesn't help either

JC316 · Nov 10, 2008

I am working on a fallout 3 review as we speak. I agree that we need more mods and someone dedicated enough to post the reviews. I remember it was hell trying to catch W1z to get him to post it.

ktr · Nov 10, 2008

Well, it should be when I click "games" in TPU forums, that it re-directs me to forums of GPU...

amd64skater · Nov 10, 2008

do we have to create a new screenname for that site or do they bounce both ways

i have a 360 premium and still going strong

Since the site's creation about a year ago, it's been a seperate entity from TPU/TPU Forums. So you do have to create a seperate acount, which is a huge detracting factor, but it's just as easy to sign up.

Anything you guys can do to help out, suggestions, etc, would be much appreciated!

well i would like to be a mod for that forum if i can. and if i knew we had a sister site on video games i would have been on that long ago. im hooked on cod4 on 360 ace bombat 6 gta4 guitar hero forced unleashed halo3 etc

We should also have a Car Power Up! and a Folding Power Up!... wait... no... that would be confusing...

There are no links to GPU on TPU

. the hits for GPU would go up dramatically if someone was to fix that... also memberships should be transferrable... so that mods would have less work to do (you ban one there he is banned here too)...

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Nov 10, 2008

I could be a mod since I have experience in the field.

Thats what I am trying to achieve. If we can get a user base started and more mods, then YES it will be updated. I am doing a review right now and trying to round up the rest of the review staff.

Lol, Car Power up is a different story all together. We at least have Gamepowerup. don't worry people, you cant see activity, but it's there. The staff sections are starting to flicker to life.

Fitseries3 · Nov 10, 2008

WTF? game powerup?

yeah i knew about it. just no reason for me to go there i guess.

i'll make an effort to head over there more often. anything i can do?

JC316 · Nov 10, 2008

What we need right now is traffic and topics to post in. Maybe we can get W1z's attention, get things rolling again. I just hate to see alot of work go to waste and there has been ALOT of work there.

+1

I've been over there afew times but it sucks that the forums arent linked to TPU. Also there wasnt much getting me hooked into reading the news like other sites have. I'ld like to see more info on upcoming games or updates/tweaks to current games. It needs daily news postings...theres always something that could go there that doesnt end up on the main TPU page.

JC316 · Nov 10, 2008

Contact info for reviews and news posters has been added at the top of the page.

Maybe some of you will remember this thread! It had quite a few supporting something like GPU!, it was created, and then not much happened beyond that! Let's get back to the fight and making a good place, we can all pitch in in one way or another!
