FPS Rantings Blog Shuts Down
By Rich Miller on Feb 22, 2007 in eSports, FPS Games
The B5media blog network has decided to shut down FPS Rantings, its blog about first-person shooter games. Here’s the announcement from B5media’s Matt Scott:
Well folks. Due to a lack of traffic and readership, the powers that be have decided to close the pages of FPS Rantings. It’s been fun and I hope you all enjoyed reading my thoughts and sarcasm regarding the genre of FPS games.
Is there no audience for FPS blogs? Part of the issue may have been the focus of FPS Rantings, which covered a broad range of FPS titles but seemed geared to everyday FPS gamers than competitive gamers. eSports sites such as GotFrag seem to have plenty of readers, as does TwitchGuru (which has the advantage of being part of the Tom’s Hardware Guide network). See our directory of gaming news sites for more reading.

Rich,
To be accurate, b5 isn’t shutting down FPS Rantings. We’re looking for a new writer to jump-start the blog.
