06/29/2010 New websites

Hello everyone, a very long time since the last update, I apologise. I've been working very hard on a few projects, first of all I have a large project in the pipeline www.mobsters-online.com this is a browser based MMO game still in development and will soon be open for beta testing. Also as a side project I've been working on www.jkeenor.com which is a puzzle website to test your technical skills on. I have some new games I will be adding to PCGS soon, if anyone is interested in helping add games please use my contact page and get in touch!

12/14/2009 No updates in a while

It's been a while since I've updated the website, I fell ill with swine flu which wasn't much fun, I've also been busy with work and recently dumped all my spare time in to finishing Dragon Age Origins. Fear not there is a cool update on the way which I will release soon. Stay tuned!

10/05/2009 Two months old today.

The site had its first documented view on the 4th of august which makes it 2 months old today.

A big thanks to anyone who has submitted game information or left comments, it all helps improve the site.

Head on over to the blog section and leave a comment letting me know what you think.

09/25/2009 Dedicated Hosting
