What shall I name my new gaming site?

Its gonna have legit (unbiased) game reviews, small files(latest patches, etc.), reader content, etc. What would be a good name for this site?

How about -
RGR for Real Game Review
or
Gametruth
or
pcgamecoverage
or
realcomputergaming


I just thought of those on the top of my head - reading them over I dont ''love'' any of them; but I do like sites which can be shortened into a few letters (easier to remember).

SomeQuestions:

Are you including a forum or blog or anything?
Can we sign up for newsletters and have an account like on PcMech?
or are you keeping it simple?

I am going to add forums as soon as I can and a newsletter will come a little bit later. But yes, I will be doing these things. If the crowd comes, they will get what they want =). Thats why I am also asking to see what you guys want to see in a site like this, because there are tons of gaming sites that have reviews that seem biased. I mean, I noticed that a lot of sites gave Doom 3 a high score just because of graphics, but honestly it wasn't even close to what I expected. This is just an example and I have many more, but I also don't want to put down other gaming sites. I check out Gamespot.com every day because of their loads of content. I just want to do something more simple yet more true to the gamers out there.

I like nowfragthis. I know what you mean about unbiased reviews. I've actually purchased Games of the Year, been dissapointed with them. I bought Call of Duty after reading about it, and finished the game in two or three days. Sure you can play it online, but I like seeing the store unfold, I like the missions and challenges. Unfortunaltey it wasn't that challenging, maybe I'm just to darn good. I'll have to play it on Impossible mode later if it has one.

I've also seen games before that were great fun to play, but for one reason or another scored very poor on reviews and previews.

Due to circumstances and lack of support from my local friends, I have decided to change it to a funny gamer site. We are going to have funny screenshots, funny movies, cartoons, stories, downloads of all sorts, etc. (And some basic news and reviews). This site is going to cover all computer games, and some consoles as well. We are going to bring the funniest stuff from all over the net into one place, only about gaming, and we'll see how you guys like it. I was thinkin FunnyGamer.com (oh so original =) ). WHat do you guys think?

Heck yes theres gonna be guest submitted pics. I'm gonna have a funny pic of the day thing set up and a gallery of the rest of the submissions, etc. If you have a funny video or anything, send it ahead of time to me at JDillio12@aol.com and I'll put it in as soon as I open the site!

Just downloaded the latest rvb episode. Bow chicky wow wow. Could not stop laughing.

Really looking forward to your website now. It's really easy to find reviews, however biased they may be, but I don't any sites about funny games. Nice idea.
