It makes search results less meaningful. The few of many news sources I tend to look at for games are: Wonderland, Slashdot, Gamadaily, Kotaku, Joystiq, Guardian Gamesblog, Terranova, Bluesnews, Shack News... etc. etc. They're more than enough. Collect every game blog/news site link out there and the collection of links won't be meaningful to anybody, but will be overwhelming. Sorry to be so down on your idea, but it seems a few years behind the rest of the net. Links occur naturally and leave trails; anything as artificial as reciprocal linking campaigns destroy meaning. I guess the best approach would be a combination of using familiar sites and exploring new ones, coupled with a social bookmarking site such as ma.gnolia or del.icio.us.

Do you think this is a good idea? If I did something like this, could I give a link and review of your blog, and would you give me a link back or blog post something, or something like that? It's just an idea in my mind at the moment, it won't materialise if bloggers like your self aren't interested in discussing this kind of lark. feedback appreciated.
