Today marks the one year anniversary of the site. It began as a side project and after about two months become my main sports gaming focus. It has been pretty remarkable to me the growth that has occurred in such a short period of time and the increased influence that has come with it for the community. I thought I’d leave a few statistics about the first year for your enjoyment!

    This is the best site to find news and updates on sports video games. In fact i’m surprised to read that your celebrating your 1st anniverssary… i really thaught that this site was live since a longer time. Everything is done with a professionnal approach and that’s the reason why i’m coming back here day after day.

    Keep on the excellent work man!

    Have a great one!

    Pasta,

    Congrats man its a real success. You have insight and a perspective that comes directly from your readers. This is one of the reasons I come back to hear your take on various games. I use to go to ign’s sports page exclusively until I started feeling as though they lost touch with the people. I then started looking for alternatives and your site really met my needs as a sports gamer.

    Thanks and congrats!
