From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GameShadow is a gaming community website and freeware utility that keeps
PC gamers
up-to-date with patches, game demos, trailers, mods and other content for PC,
Xbox 360 and PS3 games. GameShadow identifies the exact version of
every game installed on a user's PC, then checks its database to
determine which updates are available for those games. The site
also offers insightful features on the nature of the games
industry, an industry blog, and a Gaming Network. It is available
for Microsoft Windows only. GameShadow is
based in Over Norton, Oxfordshire, England.
GameShadow was previously a subscription service, but in May
2006 it announced that it was available free.
In March 2008, GameShadow announced it had achieved over 1
million registered users, and had launched a new Gaming Network - a
social community driven by the titles installed on gamers' PCs.
