Description
GameSpot launched in May 1996, with the goal of becoming the world's best online information resource for PC gaming enthusiasts. GameSpot began as a small start-up company founded by Pete Deemer, Vince Broady, and Jon Epstein, who had all worked together at IDG's Multimedia World Magazine. The idea was to create an online gaming site that would combine the editorial quality of a top print magazine with the interactivity and multimedia capabilities unique to the Internet.
At the end of 1996, GameSpot was well on its way to becoming a leader in the PC gaming market, and the company launched its video game counterpart in December of that year. The video game site would be known by two different names--VideoGameSpot and videogames.com--before finally being reborn in May 2000 as GameSpot Video Games.
Since its launch in 1996, GameSpot has undergone two major redesigns and a few minor face-lifts. The site has received dozens of industry awards, but more importantly it has earned the respect and loyalty of the world's biggest and best gaming audience. The entire staff is committed to serving the needs of that audience, and we work as hard as we can--day in and day out, year in and year out--to live up to our goal of being the first and best place "Where Gamers Go to Know."
GameSpot is owned by CNET Networks, a top 10 Internet company with established Web sites and services throughout North America, Asia and Europe. It is one of several CNET Networks media brands, including CNET, ZDNet, TechRepublic, Builder.com, MP3.com, and mySimon.
We hope that you've enjoyed what GameSpot has delivered thus far, and we hope that the best is yet to come.
Thanks for reading and for visiting GameSpot.
