My name's Alex Co, and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of PlayStation LifeStyle. More importantly (I think), I'm based here in Manila and we're looking to expand our Asian gaming coverage. =)
For reference, PlayStation LifeStyle (or PSLS) is a US-based publication that's under the Crave Online (Evolve Media) network of sites that include Craveonline.com, Actiontrip, Coming Soon, Game Revolution and a LOT more. As the name implies, we focus on PlayStation-related news that I think is a good fit with the PinoyPS.

I'm posting now not only to ask PinoyPS people to visit the site, but to also ask feedback on what the forum's readers want to see from a PlayStation-focused site. For E3, we previewed a ton of games, even got to do an on-cam interview with Shuhei Yoshida and Visceral for Battlefield: Hardline and tons more. Presently, we have a lot more interviews lined up, as well as giveaways and even a few features/regular columns that I think people will like.

As for me personally, I've been writing professionally for US-based gaming websites for a few years now with outlets ranging from VGchartz, Gameranx, MP1st and a few others. I was the EIC of Pixel Enemy in 2013, before I transitioned to being the network's General Manager in early 2014. I vacated the post mid-May in good standing and was recruited by PSLS to spearhead the site's new direction starting last month. Oh, and I also write news for The Escapist Magazine (non-gaming due to my contract to PSLS). If ever you want to chat, send me a PM here or via Twitter (https://twitter.com/excaliburps) and I promise, I'll do my best to reply.
I'm also hoping that "games journalism" (I hate that term) is something we can expand in the country. I don't see any reason why Singapore/HK and other Asian countries have legit journalists who cover games and get paid, while the Philippines does not (from what I know, every magazine and site went kaput). So, if ever you're considering to be a games writer, contact me and I'll do my best to help out. Just be prepared since the job is not as fun as you think it is.
Hope to hear from everyone in PinoyPS!
Thanks, mods for letting me post this! =)
