I am starting work again on my linux gaming website (http://www.gaming4linux.com) and i am wondering what you think it needs feature wise.

I am currently adding MyBB forum and integrating the sites login with it, so you will only have to use 1 login to add/update games and post in the forum.

Can you give me an example of something that uses it? Like a game or something?

Yes of course but that is tailored directly at ubuntu, this is an all round website which has been around for a while. I just decided to revive it.

There are several Linux gaming websites, it's hard to make/find some new games that weren't already mentioned on other sites.
You need to make something different, unique.
* Linux games reviews.
* Interview with the developers.
* Spam those companies so they release a native Linux client ;)
* Game play videos.
* Linux Indies

Think about something new instead of adding the old info all over again.
