[games_access] Accessibility 4 Gamers website

[AudioGames.net]

Hi,

Working on GA.com - unfortunately it is indeed floating somewhere towards 
neverneverland but some possibly interesting developments have arisen on the 
horizon... more news later when I know more...

And for those on LinkedIn: I recently created a Linked In group to create a 
network of people interested in game accessibility. Check out my profile 
http://www.linkedin.com/in/richardvantol and view my groups, then click to 
join.

Greets,

Richard
