GameDrone covers the wondrous world of PC gaming from the perspective of veteran PC gamers.

Our tagline, “droning on about everything PC gaming”, means we’ll be providing you with high quality, PC-exclusive, gaming-related content. Our primary focus lies in providing great self-help articles, guides and tips in order to improve your PC gaming experience and abilities. But we’ll also provide original reviews and previews, early impressions on new games, expanded thoughts on interesting newsbits, and engaging articles.

All of this comes in a magazine-like fashion, with a focus on quality over quantity. We may not post quite as frequently as your favourite gaming news site, but when we do, you know it is because we have something good to say. On GameDrone, every word is geared towards informing and entertaining whomever decided to visit – and comments are always welcome.

What sets us apart

GameDrone is built upon original content aimed at helping you have a good PC gaming time. It is not another gaming news blog, console-oriented gaming website, or generic mass-market game review blog.

These are some of the things you can expect to find here:

• Articles that are entertaining, interesting and useful.
• Guides to gaming applications, websites and anything related to gaming.
• Tips and strategies for improving your play.
• Reviews for both well-known and lesser known games. As well as gaming applications, hardware and digital download platforms.
• Re-reviews of games after the fact. In today’s market of patches, DLC and Mods; games continue to evolve, so why shouldn’t reviews do the same?
• Join us on Twitter to keep up-to-date with the most interesting developments in PC gaming as they occur.

About: I’m a Dutch webdeveloper and aspiring writer. I’m also Droniac; hardcore gamer, multi-genre expert, PC-gaming fanatic and the initiator of this little project.

I’ve been a competitive gamer for more than a decade, but have also grown a liking for just about every genre available on PC, save for sports and racing games.

I enjoy singleplayer and multiplayer equally and occasionally attend local LAN parties. As for console gaming… it’s not for me.

A Quick Retrospective

GameDrone has been around for a while, but not always in it’s current form. The name has been used for a number of blogs, which passed away over time. The current incarnation of GameDrone is quite different from any that has come before it, but below is a quick overview of the earlier versions of this gaming blog.

• The first time the name GameDrone was given to a blog was on April 11th 2006. This was a blog on the popular Blogger service. It offered fairly standard PC gaming news & information at breakneck pace.
• On January 24th 2007, the GameDrone blog transferred over to the new Blogger service and gained a slightly different focus. More in-depth news items and some unique content were rewarded with greater visitor counts.
• Later that year, on September 4th 2007, a new WordPress-built GameDrone went live on this domain. This blog focused even more on original content and saw initial success. However it was launched during a difficult time personally – and eventually faded away midway into the year 2008 as it received less and less new content each month.
• GameDrone was completely re-envisioned and relaunched on 21 February 2009. With a new, clearer writing focus and a more stable content stream – the new GameDrone is set to take the interweb by storm and redefine PC gaming coverage as you know it.
