Giga Gamez: Om Malik’s New Videogame Blog

Posted in Blogging, Games by Elliott Back on December 18th, 2006.

So there’s yet another video games blog on the block, and it’s Om Malik’s GigaGamez. Visually, GigaGamez looks like his personal blog, but with more silver-tones. The colors could do better with the bold blues of GigaOM, but the logo is persuasive, in red:

Content-wise, there’s not a lot there. A “breaking news” story about WB buying into Eidos. Tons of ads. Second life gossip and anti-gossip and anti-anti-gossip, which would just be nothing. Of course, they also covered the infamous “wii strap replacement” story.

In their introductory post, they write:

Broadband is transforming the business of games, while games are transforming the business of broadband. Over the last few months I�ve doing my best to cover that evolution for GigaOM, and now I�m helping Om Malik launch this sister site, fully dedicated to telling that story in full.

I’m not persuaded that they can add more to the Video Game Blog scene than Kotaku, giant of game news, but I may be pleasantly surprised in the future. Give it a look; at worst it’s not bad writing.
