Description: The purpose of Eye of the Vortex is to promote the gaming industry. We do this by drawing everything that is important to a gamer into a centralized place, thus our name. Gamers can simply hit one website to get all the news and product reviews that they could possibly want to read about.
We can accomplish these goals in the following ways:
A Provide quality articles that offer entertainment and education to our reader-base.
B Provide superior product evaluation and promotion of our affiliates.
C Provide an excellent media for sponsors to advertise their products.
An important part of our marketing strategy is that while we are writing articles about some of the larger games in the industry (Magic, Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness etc.), we will be attracting fans of those games. This is a perfect opportunity to slide a new game in front of those readers. Our belief is that gamers only play games that they are exposed too. In short, if your product is worth a try, then we are willing and able to put your product out in front of those groups in order to expose them to it, in an effort to build a following for that game as well.
I am constantly asked the question, \"So what do you do?\" Its a fair question, and a very deep answer could follow, but instead I will give you a fairly simple one. EoV is a gaming website where a typical gamer can go to learn about new and old games, movies, books, comics, etc. We strive to be equal parts entertainment as well as educational. We have divided the gamers interests into groups that we call genres and then searched for talented writers to provide coverage on the genre of their expertise. Let me break down those genres for you:
Collectible Card Games *CCGs* ~ These are games that are played with cards that are purchased solely to play the game. This does not include playing cards (think poker). This genre is best described by Magic: the Gathering, Epic, and Battle Spirits etc.
Role Playing Games *RPGs* ~ This genre is best described by Dungeons and Dragons. The players will play the role of a character while a Game Master tells the story and maintains the environment for the players.
Table Top Games *TTs* ~ Table Tops are board games, and not just Scrabble and Monopoly. This category also includes miniatures games such as Monsterpocalypse.
Video Games *VGs* ~ Video Games are games played either on your computer or on a typical home console system.
Comics/Manga ~ Graphic novels have always been a favorite of the typical gamer. A Graphic novel is essentially a book in which the story is told in pictures.
Fiction ~ Fiction is what it is. Books with words that are written to tell a story.
Movies/TV ~ Whether by the big or small screen, the gamer needs some kind of diversion from his games.
Music ~ The other great diversion. Music, so it has been said, soothes the savage beast.
