Welcome new News mods!
Our anticipated timeline to get this thing live.
Congratulations. If you're reading this, I didn't screw up your username and password when registering your account. To start, click the "My Account" link and edit it as desired. Note: If you decide to change your password in the publishing system, you also must let me know, as I must also change the password that allows access to the physical "modcp" directory on the web server to match, unless you don't mind having two different passwords (one to access this area and the other to publish).
The Moderator FAQ is almost complete, and you can read it to get an introduction into publishing your articles. I still need to hammer out some details regarding graphic files, and hope to have that done in a couple of days.
Feel free to take the system out for a test drive by posting some test articles here in the "Modcp" blog. If you feel you are ready, you can post an article on the "GameWinners.com" blog. Note: There is no way to move articles from one blog to the other. Unless you want to cut and paste between screens, do not post something here and later intend to move it to the public blog. Since the actual News system has not been announced site-wide (it was only announced to our forum members during the vB3 conversion), don't expect a big readership. It's still officially in "beta".
However, hopefully by next weekend (April 17th), the News system will be live. By this, I mean that the top ten headlines will appear on the home page of the main site within one hour of being published here; the top five headlines will appear at the bottom of all of our cheat pages within one hour of being published here; and your latest three original articles* will appear on the home page of the main site.
*By original articles, I mean your "editorials" (not news headlines and stories). As they are published, I will choose the three best out of the current log and flag them to appear on the main site. As a new original article is posted, and is decided to be "feature-worthy", I'll flag it as such and it will appear at the top of the three, bumping the oldest one off.
This publishing software itself is only in it's second public beta at the moment. Thus, we do not have a built-in forum to discuss with each other (yet). However, the commenting system here is unmoderated, and we can use it as a simple bulletin board until then. Please feel free to post any questions you have there, or simply email me.

Moderator FAQ
An introduction to the GameWinners.com News publishing system.
Posting a new article
Step 1
Log into the publishing system at http://news.gamewinners.com/sys64738/index.php
Step 2
Click the "Publish" tab at the top of the screen. Select either "GameWinners.com" for the public news site or "Moderators" for the private moderator section.
Step 3
There are several fields to fill out on the left side of the "Publish" screen. The required ones are marked with an asterisk (*).
First, complete the Title field with a brief headline that describes your article. Your title does not have to be a complete sentence, but if possible should contain something compels a reader to click through. The contents of this field will be the text in the link that appears on the news publishing system, the main site, and RSS syndication feeds.
Leave the URL Title blank. It will be automatically filled out when you submit your article.
Fill the Summary field with a sentence that summarizes the content of your article. You can enter more than one sentence if neccessary, but it is usually better to leave longer details for the main part of the article.
The Body field contains the content of your article. Articles can be either news or an original piece authored by you. We'll continue describing a news article, as original pieces can be formatted as you desire. There are two styles you can use to post a news article -- Slashdot type (http://www.slashdot.com) or Google News (http://news.google.com). You can visit those sites to see examples of those formats.
In the Slashdot type, the Body field consists of one or two sentences of your own opinions about the news story, with an embedded link to the source of the information.
In the Google type, there is no original commentary. Instead, it consists of a link to the source of the story along with a quote from the place you are linking to. This is allowable, under the "Fair Use" provision of copyright laws. It is important that you do not copy the entire story from the site you are linking to, as this is not allowed and is considered both plagaristic and a violation of copyright. Instead, start with the word "From" followed by a link to the story and a comma. The name of the link should be the site that originated the story. For example "GameSpot", "1up", or "Gamers" for gamespot.com, 1up.com, or gamers.com. Note that the .com portion of the site is not included in the name of the link, as it's obvious that you are linking to a web site. Then, put an excerpt (one or two paragraphs at most) of the story from their site in quotes. Remember to change any quotes that they may have in their story to single quotes. The final result will be something like:
From Super Duper Game News, "Big Game Co. today announced that they are releasing 'Lame Game 2', a sequel to 2003's original 'Lame Game' on the PlayStation3, Xbox Next, and Nintendo N5. Joe Dingleberry, vice-president of marketing for Big Game Co., stated 'This will be the biggest thing since the original 'Lame Game'. Basically, we just ran out of ideas and used some new 3-D models and changed everyone's name.' The game is scheduled to be released on April Fool's Day, with yet another possible sequel as early as Arbor Day.
The Extended text field is a sort of scratch-pad. You can use it to store notes about your story, or use the formatting buttons to create HTML there before cutting and pasting it into your article. Text entered here will not appear publicly.
The Trackback URLs to ping field is normally left blank. It is used for blogs to link back to one another. If your story is from another blog and they support trackbacks, you can enter the Trackback URLs here.
Notice the "Formatting" options below the Summary, Body, and Extended text fields. This should be left at the default setting of "< br / >", as changing it will cause your article to break when displayed and exported.
Step 4
The right side of the "Publish" screen has several options. Normally, you only need to highlight the names underneath the Categories heading to classify where your article belongs (in the GameWinners.com weblog). You can set your article to more than one category (for example, if a story pertains to the PlayStation2, Xbox, and Gamecube) by [Ctrl] + clicking the appropriate areas. After doing so, you can click the Update button to publish your article, or the Preview button to check your formatting. You're done!
Step 5 (optional)
As for the other options on the right side of the "Publish" screen...
The Entry Status setting defaults to "Open", which will make your article appear publicly. If you wish to make it private for some reason (it is a work in progress, etc.), change the status to "Closed". Do Not change the status to "Meta", as this is used to flag articles that will be exported to the main site.
You may not change the Author setting.
If you used the "Edit" feature to update a previously published article, you may wish to "bump" it so the news system displays it higher in the listing. To do so, change the values in the Date field. Note: Assuming you set your "My Account" settings to reflect your local time zone, the value you enter here is the date and time locally when you published your article. Note: If you set a date and time in the future, your article will not appear on the site until it is past that point in time.
By putting a date and time in the Expiration Date field, your article will be removed from the publishing system at that point in time.
Under the Options heading, generally leave the "Allow Comments" box checked (lets users respond to your article) and "Allow Trackbacks" checked (allows the system to track other blogs that link to your article). Do not check the "Make Entry Sticky" box, as your article will not migrate normally by time posted.
The Sites To Ping heading allows you to manually (de)select weblogs that list new articles from other blogs around the web. When the News section goes live site-wide, those sites will be checked by default. Until then, leave them blank. If for some reason you do not wish your article to be "discovered" by those article listing blogs, uncheck those boxes.

Rune Factory: Frontier - Introduction sequence
As with previous related games, Rune Factory: Frontier features a myriad of Life Sim activities like farming, raising livestock, building relationships with NPCs, etc., as well as role-playing elements like dungeon crawling and item collection and leveling, but in structuring gameplay it goes to great lengths to incorporate an open-ended structure that allows players to choose the type of game they wish to experience at all points in the game. This means that although at the beginning of the game players will find themselves presented with the familiar opportunity of starting a farm, selling their crops at market and by doing so improving the overall prosperity and size of their town, they are not necessarily tied to the land. Although farming is an excellent way to finance adventuring, the rich RPG elements of the game can be pursued at any time. These elements present themselves mostly in the form of battling monsters and bosses that have found their way into the land, but seem to be coming from the mysterious 'Whale Island,' which floats in the sky above your town. Players can either battle the monsters or make friends with them, raising them as a kind of livestock. As with everything in Rune Factory: Frontier, the choice is yours. Whether it's growing crops, expanding the town, fighting (or befriending) monsters or even falling in love, the experience is unique to each player.

Valve Announces Steam's New In-Game DLC Service
Valve have it out for your spare time, with a system that will let you get the latest piece of DLC - without even closing your game.
In their ongoing attempt to monopolize all parts of your PC gaming life, Valve have announced that Steam, their proprietary digital distribution service will now support in-game downloadable content delivery. Now your games need never even be closed, for as soon as you're done, you can simply hit shift+tab and grab the latest mission pack, multiplayer mode or whatever else should strike your fancy.
The first game to take advantage of this new system will be indie hit The Maw, although it certainly won't be the last. The new system can be used by any game - old or new - it won't be long before we see other developers taking Valve up on their enticing new offer.
Hardly a surprising piece of news, wouldn't you say? With DLC becoming a larger and larger part of many budgets and profit forecasts, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with this system, and Valve would be the logical choice. Perhaps soon they'll begin offering notifications of your death to friends, family and guildmates.

Equilibrio - Trailer
DK Games has released a new trailer for Equilibrio, the new mesmerizing and gripping, gyrating ball puzzle solving and manipulation game for those that like something a little different. Equilibrio will be released on WiiWare, first in Europe, then later in the Americas.
Set in a colorful world the challenge may look simple but Equilibrio tests not only your reflexes but the old gray matter and is in perfect synergy with the Wii. The basic concept of getting your ball to the exit pod to finish the level is turned upside down, literally, as you use your Wii Remote or Wii Balance Board to rotate the play area varying degrees in either direction. Players carefully, skillfully move the spinning ball through corridors, along ledges to complete levels that are fraught with dangers. Move the ball too fast and it can shatter, leaving you to pick up the pieces and restart the level. Go too slow and the 'equilibrio' of the ball will not be powerful enough to spring to the desired spot!
In Equilibrio, with every positive there is a negative - fast or slow, high or low, frantic or calm, left or right, up or down - the decisions you make could mean the difference between finishing a level or beginning again! Featuring over 64 levels of mayhem, new elements are constantly introduced to bamboozle your 'equilibrio' as players need complete calm to finish each stage. To progress players need to either obey the laws of Newton or contradict them, as they manipulate and manoeuvre the ball. Lethal traps and objects litter your path from deadly spikes to acid pools, but in equal numbers helpful objects like cannons and trampolines will launch the ball into your desired position. To complete the mischievousness, balls are made up of different materials, such as stone, rubber, glass, steel and paper that add to the unique flavor of Equilibrio. With it initiative controls and madcap ideas - casual and even die hard gamers will take instantly to this fiendish creation!

The second heart-stopping shooter by Monolith (after F.E.A.R.) continues the spine-tingling supernatural suspense story of an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to destroy a major American city. At the center of the calamity is the mysterious Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her triggered a chain of events that has spiraled completely out of control. Now that she has been loosed upon the world, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although this game is technically a follow-up to F.E.A.R., the game does not carry the F.E.A.R. franchise name due to a shift in publishers -- instead, it features a new name for its frights.
Utilize the world interaction enhancements to create instant cover or remove obstacles Play with and against friends in multiplayer competition Enhanced graphics engine takes action horror to new heights through enhanced visuals and effects Enemies behave realistically and use the environment against you through vastly enhanced enemy Artificial Intelligence Maintains the authenticity of the Alma storyline.

Lord Of The Rings: Conquest - Preview
Middle-Earth stands on the brink of destruction, and you must unite to either save it, or destroy it, in The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. With every race bound to this fate, all you have to decide is what to do with the time given to you, and choose your allegiance.
Developed by Pandemic Studios and published by Electronic Arts, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest allows gamers to make the choice between good and evil. Those who side with good will get to follow Frodo's journey through Middle-Earth, playing in battles inspired by both the books and the movies. Or join evil to find out what may have happened if Frodo had failed to destroy the One Ring, as you fight your way with Sauron back across the map in an attempt to destroy Rivendell, the Shire, and all that is good in the world.
In Conquest you will have to play many different characters in order to win. And it isn't always such a balanced match, as you will find yourself destroying towering siege engines and taking on hulking oliphaunts with your companions. You can choose to play all the heroes you love, or fight as a Nazgul tasked with killing Frodo and stretch your powerful wings as the Balrog himself in your battle for Moria.
The game is set for North American release on January 13, 2009. Take a look at the preview version on the PlayStation3.
