Game Spot
By Jessica Scott
If information on video games is what you're looking for, then gamespot.com
is the spot (sorry for the lame pun). They have sections for PC games
as well as all of the popular platform gaming systems.
They have all the latest news on upcoming video games, such as when
new games are completed and ready to be released. They also currently
have a lot of information from the E3 Conference (Electronic Entertainment
Expo), where all the upcoming games are previewed and a lot of buzz
is created for them.
One of the best features of game spot is their reviews. They have
a comprehensive archive of game reviews. Each review includes a quick
glimpse at the quality of a game, based on a ten-point scale. The
game's score is determined by its performance in five separate categories,
game play, graphics, sound, value, and reviewers' tilt. This is helpful
so you can quickly determine whether or not you should look into a
game. Each review also includes a full-length review of the game,
complete with screenshots and the reviewers experience with the game.
On the page with the review for that game, there are also links to
other interesting things about that game. There are downloads to enhance
the game. For example, on the review for the game Black & White,
there is also a section with downloadable creatures that the player
can introduce into the game if he or she gets bored with the original
ones. There are also links to game guides, hints and codes, and FAQ's.
In addition to the reviewers from the site, readers can also review
the game, and there is a cumulative score for the game from the reader
reviews. There are also links to news articles about the game, as
well as other reviews of it.
Game Spot seems to be a very complete source of information for video
games. If you are considering picking up that hot game you heard about,
check out game spot first, you'll find all the information you need
there.
