That's the main thing I'm worried about really - haven't really been able to find any guidelines on it either. All the documentation seems to be for caching key/values

The value simply means any data. It'll be fine, store your HTML in APC

Yer, that's essentially what the class does, but a little cleaner.

Just wondered if anyone saw any issues with this, as I'm caching whole pages using APC which will take up more memory.

If it's only HTML then you should be fine - but to be sure you should run a quick audit on the site and figure out the overall size of the dataset.

APC is a good idea - however, what happens if memory is emptied on the server? Here is what I would recommend:

1. Check APC to see if the key/data exists
2. If #1 returns false, select from database.
3. After #2 save to memory via APC.

You don't need a special class to cache data, you could quite simply buffer the output of the view, example:
```
// Is it already saved in memory?
$content = apc_fetch('page_name');

if ($content) {
    echo $content;
    exit;
}
// otherwise query the database...
ob_start();

echo $data_from_database;

$data = ob_get_contents();
apc_store('page_name', $data);
```

Maby add pictures, screenshots of the game?

Yes, you need to break up the content. Some tips;
- Images relating to content
- Headings should be bold/bigger
- Provide a few links at the bottom of the article, which relate to the game - link to game.co.uk to buy it or something. You could potentially use an affiliate link to make some money.
- Bullet point summary (at the end) - for those who don't want to read the whole article
