A note from the Admin
PLEASE READ
Visitors, welcome to TGW - Teen Gamers World. This is a new video game review website that is based on the input of its visitors. Currently we do not have a lot of content, but hopefully this site will expand as more people come to this site. Please spread the word about this site. You can submit your own reviews by going to the "Submit a Review" link under the "Home" menu at the top of the screen. I am always looking for input from the visitors. Info on how to contact me is below.
I am also planning a live talk show that will be run through Ustream.tv and TalkShoe. With TalkShoe if you know that the show is on and you can't get access to your computer, you can call the TalkShoe number and enter the show extension. From there you will be connected to the audio feed of the show. Your phone will be shown as a connection to the show and if we are looking for input from our listeners, we can select from who is listening and get the input of that listener. If you are near a computer at the time of the show, you can access the video feed on Ustream.tv or right here on TGW. Hopefully I can set up my computer to run the complete TalkShoe audio feed through Ustream.tv and Justin.tv, that way if you are watching the video feed, you can watch and listen to the entire show. For information on show times and more, click the "TalkCast" link in the "Home" menu.
I will be continuing add to this site, but if you have any suggestions for the site, please contact me either via e-mail, through PM on the forum, on AIM at TeenGamersWorld, on Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messegner) at webmaster@teengamersworld.com, or on XBL (Xbox LIVE) at TGW Chaos. Thank you for visiting and I hope that you will stay with TGW - Teen Gamers World.

I am proud to announce that I consider this site finished and functional. I have finished coding the Hints & Tips part of the site as well as the code changes that were needed on the Reviews pages. The one thing that will help is publicity. I am hoping to have the first TalkCast in the next few weeks. Please help out by telling your friends about this site. I am planning on adding a video feed noy only on Ustream.tv but also on Justin.tv. I still have to run some tests on my computer to make sure everything I can currently do will actually work. I am hoping to run the audio from the TalkCast through the video feeds as well. I have to look into this to see if there will be any latency issues. Until then, please submit your reviews, that way we can build our game database in order to add hints & tips for those games as well.

I know it has been a couple months since my last update. I know that I said this site would be done near the new year. The hints and tips part of the site is the final piece of this puzzle. Hopefully within the next couple weeks this site will be complete. If at any point you get error messages while browsing the site, do not worry due to the fact that it is something I am modifying and have not finished yet. You are able to send in your own reviews. Under the "Home" menu at the top of the page is a link to submit a review. Please read the information there on how to submit a review for now and what I am working on to make submitting reviews easier.

Hope everyone had a safe Thanksgiving holiday. I understand that this site has been slow in coming with updates. However it is difficult to ake changes to this site when I am the only one working on it. If you or someone you know would be willing to help make code changes as well as help adding features, please feel free to contact me. I could definitely use some help of maintaining this site and keeping it running once more people start to access this site. In the meantime, please spread the word about this site. I encourage you to give me feedback on this site as well as any problems that you experience on the site.

I understand that my previous additions below have given some info as to why it is taking so long for me to finish this site. It's more difficult now since school has started back up. I am hoping to get the site finished as soon as I can. I am planning on doing a video review for "Halo 3" once I get time. The video will be posted on Youtube. You can send in reviews as well. All the info you need is in the "Announcements" section of the forum. Please start sending in reviews and tell your friends about this site. Like I've said before, I am a student and it is hard to work on this site when I have school work to do. All that needs done is code changes from what I had before on submitting reviews through logins of phpBB and change that to the SMF coding. I also have to set up my code for the hints & tips section. It may not seem like a lot but it is difficult, especially being the only one working on it. There are several ways to contact me. If you wish to suggest something, ask me something about the site, or anything related to the site, the above paragraph has the ways to contact me.

I have decided to change the forum from phpBB to SMF (Simple Machines). I feel this is a forum that has many features and will be easier to add new themes and modifications to the forum than phpBB. Everything as far as logging in should work fine. If not, please let me know so I can fix it. Hopefully I can get a login integration working for the entire site soon. However, this will result in changing the code with sending reviews and adding hints & tips once they are added. These will take some time. For now, feel free to post on the forum and I hope to have eveyrthing else up and running as soon as possible.

An update: I am out of school and am working on the site as much as I can. Sometimes figuring out what code is needed to get something working is difficult. The problem with the login integration is that the code is very different than the previous version of the forum. It is difficult for me because I have been the only person working on the site. Some of my friends and I decided to start this website about 3 years ago. I have been the only one working on it because I am the only one who knows what I'm doing. It would look like Japanese to all my friends. However, I have finally found a way to incorporate RSS news feeds from different gaming websites into the site. I have used Google Reader for this feature. Currently, each system has feeds from QJ.net, IGN.com, Gamespy.com, and 1up.com. If there is a gaming site that has RSS feeds that are separated by system, feel free to send me the link. For those who are wondering about the radio show, I believe I have the setup correct for voice chat to work during the show. As far as being able to call in, I am still working on that and hope to find a resolution to that soon. I know that there isn't much on this site right now, but that is due to lack of activity. I ask that you tell your friends and family about this site. Sometime in the near future, I will clear out all reviews currently in the database (which is only about 4 or 5). I ask that everyone types up reviews. For the time being until I fix the login integration, you can send your reviews via e-mail to webmaster@teengamersworld.com. More information is posted in the "Announcements" section of the forum.
