[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.[2] Furthermore, excerpts of the website's content can be found on Metacritic.[3] Some of the website's content can also be found on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]
