I've been a frequent visitor to AusGamers for yonks, right back when they had white copy on black pages. Yeh, it was pretty hard on the eyes after a while. This must've been around seven years ago! I've noticed over the weekend that they've had a major design update and it looks very fresh and clean. Check 'em out!

AusGamers 'new look' website to offer a new world of gaming to Australian gamers!
MELBOURNE - Monday 12 May, 2008 – Following months of development, much loved Australian gaming website and 'hub' of game news, views and game titles - AusGamers - has had a face lift. Much more than just a 'nip and tuck', the site has been given a fresher, funkier look, with a wide range of new features added to ensure that the site continues to offer members and visitors access to absolutely everything and anything in gaming!
David Harrison of AusGamers (or 'trog', as he is known on the site) said of the new look site, "AusGamers has been serving the Australian gamer community for almost eight years now. Our team is dedicated to not only maintaining the reputation we have for covering everything games related, but also on improving on what our site offers at every opportunity,"
"The new AusGamers website is a significant first step in expanding our efforts to provide the best resource possible for Aussies to get all the latest news from the gaming world," he added.
While AusGamers has for some time boasted one of the largest game file archives in Australia, the revamped site features a further expanded games database. In short, members and visitors can trawl through the 'mega archive' to access more games information, news, screenshots and videos than ever before! What's more, the site is now being housed on even faster hardware, so online game players can expect lighting fast gaming speeds.
In keeping with the increased breadth of news and games info on the site, the AusGamers team has also been expanded to include a number of new writers and reviewers. Additionally, the forum area has been extended to include lots of new topics…so you can post your opinions about loads more from the world of games.
The site upgrade has also made it even easier for people to join the AusGamers nationwide community of game enthusiasts. There's now no excuse for casual visitors not to join in on discussions and get actively involved in the AusGamers community.
The AusGamers 2008 Survey, launched with the new site, aims to gather useful demographic data from the online gaming community in Australia. The data will be used to further improve AusGamers services and provide an ever better experience for all users.
Anyone that completes the survey is also eligible to enter the AusGamers Survey Competition, putting them in the running to win the grand prize of an Xbox 360 console system. Two runners-up will each win a Nintendo DS console!
