Online sites that cater to the video games and the players are really something that has taking the web by storm. These sites have so much information that is available to the gamers. “GameFAQs” is “acting as a hub for gamers and hosting many thousands of gamer-produced walkthroughs, FAQ list, and discussion forums” (Newman 479). This is a great way for gamers to stay in touch to the gamer world, and always be updated on the latest games and information from the mouths of other gamers. I myself have used this website and got some good tips and information about different games that I have been playing. I think it is nice to get information from people that are playing the same games I am playing, around the same skill level. There are also video game sites like “Eurogamer” that give “professional review, previews and news and replicate many of the features of print magazines” (Newman 479). This is also enormous for those gamers who like more of an expert point of view of video games. This is something that is normally only offered in print, and sometimes can be hard to come by in my eyes. I have never used a video game site that was made and ran by professionals. A site like this would be very nice because you would know that everything that was taken from the site would be quality information and facts. Sites such as these are very important to the game world; it is a way for gamers to stay social within the games that they play, to meet people that have the same interest as them, and sometimes to take their gaming experience to the next level with tips and clues that they may have never had the opportunity to get otherwise. Some may see this as a bad thing because maybe they think it is too much put into video games, and that kids and young people already spend too much time on video games themselves. The people that feel this way should be happy about sites like these, they allow an outlet for gamers to connect to others and to see what else is going on around them and around the world of gaming. I myself may even go to check out other gamers ran sites, and one of the professional ran sites just to see if the information can better my gaming experience, and to see video games from more of a social view.

Video Game Sites!
Online sites that cater to the video games and the players are really something that has taking the web by storm.
