Metacritic is a game score aggregation site that compiles an average score for games. And the site is a resource for development studios to gauge various games’ success.

The GameFAQs site is informational. And users can find answers to puzzle questions and discover ASCII walkthroughs.

GameSpot may be perhaps the most popular site in Fandoms acquisition. It provides end-to-end coverage of video games featuring the latest news, reviews, trailers, and how-to guides.

 It also launched the careers of a bevy of game developers and multimedia journalists.

The proud new owners are hoping that all the sites will drive traffic to the Fandom platform.

“The new combined platform will drive engagement across every step of the consumer journey – reference, community, trends, ratings, reviews, news, and commerce,” the website claims.

“With the addition of these gaming, movie, and TV platforms, Fandom will extend its 360 programs for its advertising partners – including game publishers, studios, and streaming services – and enhance the data and insights within FanDNA, Fandom’s proprietary data platform.”
