Gamekicker.com Website Launch - a New Public Standard in Video Game Ratings, Reviews and Gaming News

Brooklyn, NY, January 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Announcing the launch of Gamekicker.com, the "web 2.0" of video game ratings, reviews and gamer news websites.

Gamekicker.com is the new, gamer driven, industry standard for video game ratings and reviews. All ratings and reviews are submitted by real gamers for real games, with no outside influence or manipulation. It is the independent approval mark to look for when making your next game purchase.

Gamekicker.com hosts video game ratings and reviews for all gaming platforms including PC Games, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, PSP, Mobile Games, Free Mobile Games, iPhone, Blackberry, Casino and Online Games. It also hosts a user submitted gamer news and articles section, allowing users to submit, rate and recommend interesting and relevant gaming articles and news stories to fellow gamers.

Gamekicker.com was created in response to a series of game rating manipulation scandals that have come to light in the past year, surrounding some of the biggest video game retail sites in the industry.

"These scandals left us gamers asking the question, how accurate are the game ratings and reviews on these retail sites, when their very business is to sell us the games that are being rated and reviewed. Would you walk around town with a T-shirt saying "Don't date me, I'm crap in bed" Or "Don't talk to me, I'm as boring as a documentary on Antarctic Plankton"? I don't think so. You would naturally talk yourself up! So, where is a video game retailers incentive to post a bad review or rating? Add this to the advertising dollars that the big developers pour into these sites to promote new game releases and you can see the dilemma that the majority of game retail sites have. Post a bad review or make a buck!" G. Francella - CEO and Co-Founder.

So what makes Gamekicker.com so different?
Gamekicker ratings work on a 1 person, 1 vote system, up or down, per game or news article, with every vote being tracked and monitored against the users account. Gamekicker does not take direct advertising dollars from game developers, nor does it sell games directly to it's gamers. Eliminating any conflict of interest that may occur.

Gamekicker.com is a gamer community driven site, built by gamers for gamers. The more active the Gamekicker community becomes, the better the site becomes and the more relevant and accurate the content is.

"Our goal is to establish Gamekicker ratings as the trusted, gaming industry standard and Gamekicker's gaming news section as THE portal through which all the best and most relevant gaming news and articles are found" G. Francella - CEO and Co-Founder
