Can www.gamershell.com please state the platform

CanÂ´t you divide the news into sections, so that if you only want to see PC news, you can toggle the other news on/off. I really hate it when I go to the site, and see a new game being announced only to 30 seconds later find out itÂ´s only for the consoles. Take a look at this site and see how theyÂ´ve done it. ItÂ´s in danish so you probably canÂ´t understand it. Anyways: VÃ¦lg en hovedkategori = Pick a main category. It is really a lot easier to find what you like if you divide it into sections.

Please consider this
Thanks

...or Maybe you can code it and see how hard it is to do

or maybe there could be a stamp on it "CONSOLE" "PC" etc.

This topic has already been discussed before, and as far as I can remember, the majority wanted to keep the news mixed.

I know that our current layout kinda sux and sure could be improved but the problem is that a lot of games are released on multiple platforms, some platforms are abandonned during development, others are announced several months after, so i don't think that one category for each platform is the best solution, because you will probably miss some news that way.

Besides, i always try to make the news header as short as possible and include the platforms for which the game is developed, so that you don't have the read the whole article to find out if it's for PC or consoles.

Of course suggestions are always welcome and if the majority of our regular visitors think it's best to have separate sections, we'll do it ;)

yeah, just use IBM's "WebSphere" you John D.!!

Well how about some color codes next to the news? Xbox news would be green (the header), PC would be blue, and so on. That wouldnÂ´t be too hard to implement would it?

Color coded is not that nice. We have seen many news that are platform mixed. For example Splinter Cell was coming for PC and Xbox teh first time.

Ill like some little icons better. So a mixed platform news will get its distintive icons.

Stil I agree with having news mixed. I have more than one platform )Xbox and PC) and likes to keep inform of all of them (Including PS2, Gamecube, GBA)
