slash dot games

Legendary geek portal Slashdot has launched games.slashdot.org, using the familiar Slash.* format to track game news and articles, with attached commentary. If they keep up the roughly-every-90-minutes updating schedule of the regular Slashdot, it should be another good place to track gaming news. They've just started so their bent is not yet clear, but following in the footsteps of their founders, they appear to lean towards Linux gaming more than usual, and online play as well. Here's the launch statement - it looks like Simon "Simoniker" Carless and Jon "CowboyNeal" Pater will be joining the functioning synapses of the global gaming brain.

Just what I want to read. The lameness of slashdot in game form! Remember slashdot? It's back! With a color scheme to match the comments of the posters.

It's just slashdot with a subdomain, there's nothing really "game" about it. They took the few game items they put on their main slashdot page and moved 'em to a subdomain. Now it's just a purple slashdot with fewer articles.

The fun things with Slashdot Games include overcoming certain, uhh, preconceptions people have of Slashdot, plus overcoming confusion about how much content is exclusive to the Slashdot Games subsite (Xevu - we're doing 8-10 items a day, and only 1 on average gets mainpaged.) So, like I said, fun, fun, fun.
