Well to start off, this post is going to center mostly around the fact that the website that I currently write for re-launched yesterday so I would like to get at least one shameless plug in here instead of anywhere else. I come bearing gifts though with a contest, and details in just a few paragraphs. The rest of the post will go into detail some of the things I had to do to get the site ready for public eyes( I was by no means alone in doing so), and maybe a bit of game journalism insight.
The Plug/Contest
To start here is a plug to my site which features a giveaway of Guitar Hero Aerosmith for the XBOX 360...


http://www.darkstation.com/contests.html
So there you have it, the site I work for, www.darkstation.com, is holding a contest for a brand new copy of Guitar Hero Aerosmith for the 360. All you have to do is register, and enter in the regular mumbojumbo that contests always want you to enter, and in doing so makes me a happy man, and you are that much closer to a new game...

Now on to a semi-normal blog post
I don't blog here as frequently as I would like but it's not your fault, I've just been busy trying to move the 300+ reviews from the old site to the new site. I'm sorry I neglected you sweet Destructioid. I am the Editor of all things Playstation for Darkstation, and with that comes a lot of work.
1. Moving things from the old site to the new site- Before I started at Darkstation it was decided that it needed a face-lift so my main responsibilities have been with helping in that area. This is deadly work that takes DAYS and DAYS of carpel tunnel inducing boredom. But in the end it is worth it when you finally see the site you worked hard on especially when you have a site you can be proud of like I do...
2. Reviewing games- This is something that I have only had a small taste of so far, and I really enjoy it. When I first started I wrote reviews for 3 games that I got for Christmas, and when I say they were bad, let me tell you they were awful. So I was proud that I could finally write a halfway-decent review, and continue to now at a site that isn't using a CMS from a website builder( because I have written for those types of sites).

I'll stop myself there for today and ask again for everyone to register for the site and enter the contest, because given the fact that we just launched its as good a chance as any to get the game for free. Sorry for the shameless plug I'll keep it to this and this alone, and I'll make sure to announce the winner here, and good luck to any that enter.
