EuroGamer launches GameDB

Tuesday, 03 April 2001 - Brighton, UK: EuroGamer launches GameDB, a
syndicated database of multi-platform game reference material. Aimed
at e-commerce operators, GameDB contains a wealth of information on
over 500 current and upcoming games and is on track to reach 1000
games in May.

GameDB provides an instant reference library empowering customers to
make informed purchase decisions without leaving the operator's
domain. The GameDB contains game descriptions, vital details, user
reviews and ratings, recommendations, links to 'demo' files and media
links such as movies and screenshots. Eurogamer's high quality
syndicated editorial previews and reviews are also available from
GameDB.

EuroGamer's Marketing Director Mat Bettinson said, "Potential
customers of e-commerce operators are increasingly exploiting the Web
to make informed decisions about which products to buy. This is
especially the case when it comes to entertainment software. GameDB
provides customers compelling content 'on site', avoiding losing
customers to competitors."

Additional features of EuroGamer's GameDB include regular updates
covering products in advance of release for pre-order tie-ins. The
database is automatically purged of expired links and contains a
wealth of unique media sourced by EuroGamer's journalists.

Gameplay.com's Internet Manager Mat Braddy comments, "Our philosophy has
always been to build trust with customers. In practice this means
warning customers that a game may suck and recommending another.
GameDB is a great system for delivering this kind of information."

EuroGamer provides a range of flexible content formats and delivery
mechanisms for the GameDB. Content formats include XML, templated HTML
and SQL database-ready files. These ensure the GameDB can be
incorporated into existing branding quickly and seamlessly.

EuroGamer's Technical Director Nick Loman adds, "EuroGamer can help
integrate our GameDB content with your product catalog for a
compelling user experience in a cost-effective way."
