GameZone is a multiplatform videogame website. GameZone's daily
coverage includes reviews, previews, news, hints & cheats, and
editorials. Additionally, GameZone offers downloads, a kid-targeted
website (GZ KidZone) and in association with GameStop, hosts GZGameShop,
an online retailer. GameZone celebrated its 10th anniversary in
2007.
History
GameZone was founded in 1996 in Livonia, MI by Jeff and
Kathy Connors as GameZone Online. Although GameZone Online remains
the website's official name, the name is typically shortened to
GameZone.
Coverage
GameZone covers all current game platforms. The website has
pages for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PC, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy
Advance, and Nintendo DS. Additionally, GameZone
provides coverage of mobile and MMOG games.
GameZone's review archive is currently at 4,116 reviews, making it
the third largest archive on Game Rankings among
websites and 4th largest among all websites and print
publications.[1]
GameZone's website lists nearly 30 reviewers, but the website does
not make a distinction between in-house staff and freelancers. [2]
Notability
GameZone has also gained popularity for redistributing content
for other websites through its "Online Game Sites" feature.
Although it includes many websites, GameZone places additional
emphasis on its affiliates.[3] Notable
affiliates include MobyGames, PGNx Media, and Gaming Target.[4]
GameZone is unique in this regard since it is notable both for its
original content, as well as its review aggregation.
