Gaming Nexus is a multiplatform videogame website that operates out of Columbis, Ohio. Its coverage is focused on reviews and news, although the website does offer previews and other articles. The website began its fifth year of operations as a wholly-separate entity in September 2006.

History

Gaming Nexus was originally founded in 1997 by William Abner with the mission to provide web readers with high quality game reviews and news. Gaming Nexus merged with a few sites throughout the years, most notably Gamepen.com. In September 2002, Gaming Nexus split from Gamepen.Com back to its own entity and has been operating as such ever since. The website is currently owned and operated by John Yan, who designed and developed the website.

Coverage

Gaming Nexus covers all new and last generation consoles, current portables, and PC. The website currently has pages for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Gamecube, PSP, Nintendo DS, GBA, and PC. The site had a weekly radio segment that aired on the WWCD morning show from August 2005 to July 2008.

Notability

Gaming Nexus' reviews are included in Game Rankings' composite scores. With nearly 800 reviews in its archive, the website currently has the 70th largest review archive on Game Rankings, including all websites and print publications [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/sites.asp?sort=5&includeoth=n] . Furthermore, excerpts of the website's content can be found on Metacritic [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/gearsofwar] . Some of the website's content can also be found on Rotten Tomatoes [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/gsource-1573/] .

Gaming Nexus' Editor's Choice award is seen in the industry as a true seal of quality. Publishers and manufactorers display the award if given to one of their products [http://www.abit-usa.com/news/2005/20050823a.php] [http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/MX/EN,crid=2162,contentid=6831,detail=3] .
