GameRankings: Aggregates Video Game Reviews

GameRankings is a website that aggregates video game reviews from both online and print sources. It provides an average review score from various critics for video games across many platforms.

What is GameRankings?

GameRankings is a video game review aggregator website that collects reviews from both online and print sources to provide an average review score for video games. The site covers games on platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC, and mobile devices.

GameRankings aggregates reviews when a game is first released and continually updates review data as more publications provide reviews. The site includes excerpts from reviewed sources and calculates a weighted average percentage score based on all reviews available for each game. It also tracks the number of reviews counted so users can determine how robust the average score is.

In addition to aggregate review scores, GameRankings provides screenshots, cover art, release details, genre classification, and editor reviews when available. Users can search or browse for games by platform, release date or name. Individual game pages show reviews, scores broken down by region, summaries of positive and negative critic reviews, and information on the game's developer and publisher.

By compiling critical reviews into an overall average rating, GameRankings lets gamers quickly assess the general reception of a game’s quality. As an early aggregator of video game reviews, the site helped introduce metascoring and better inform customers on video game purchases.
