AllGamesBeta shuts up shop
AGB is no more. The best headline graphics on gaming’s web have been laid to rest.
As you can see, the site’s now stopped posting, having only run for six short months.
Quickly becoming an essential destination for bare-bones gossip and leaks, AGB appeared in January this year with no explanation as to who was doing it or why.
Damn shame. Farewell. Remarkably well-informed strangers on the internet: we salute you.
Thanks, deanimate.

i like totally dumped this in the news thread like five days ago….therefore i win at life!
On the first day it went down, they posted ‘The End’ picture (see above) but briefly had a picture which stated they would ‘be back soon’, which reverted back to ‘The End’ shortly after. So there is still hope. May-hap they are just holidaying in the south of Spain

Maybe it’s run by the England squad, so we should know if it will be back up after Wednesday.

It’s like Alpha Protocol. It will come back under a different name.

Damn that sucks. My first visit to the site was a link Steph had in one of her articles like 2 weeks ago. I saw that Vanquish game on their site first. They had a nice site with decent wallpaper without any stupid (VG247) watermarks.

Dedicating this to AGB…one of the best endings of a game to the end of a good gaming site enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzp39LizZVw&feature=related

Old news, still sad news. Hope they come back for more. Early leaked Screens, Vids and rumours, they had. Not to mention the superb watercolormanga. Hopefully not a Corp. who killed that site …

I’m waiting for AllGamesGamma to pop up somewhere, AllGamesBeta were previously known as AllGamesAlpha but just as suddenly as they ended this time they ended last time. One of the best gamingsites I have had the pleasure to read news on.
For anyone interested in keeping their eye on it to see if it pop up somewhere else:

I’m definitely holding my thumbs hoping for it to start anew.
