GameSpot (www.gamespot.com), a leading video game Web site and a
property of CNET Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNET), has launched new
product innovations that enable today�s diverse gaming audience to
easily access and consume informative, entertaining content about
games. The GameSpot site now features a streamlined game reviews
system, a high-performance content download manager, and a
cinema-quality video player. �GameSpot recognizes that every gamer
is different and therefore we need to provide an experience that
accommodates their individual needs whether they want a quick
summary or a deep dive into all the nitty-gritty details of a game
review,� said Josh Larson, vice president, games, GameSpot. �As an
industry driver with a tight connection to our audience, we are
able to surpass the needs of gamers today, and can anticipate and
build what they will want tomorrow.� GameSpot�s site enhancements
include: -- Simplified Game Reviews GameSpot's new game review
format helps consumers answer the tough "should I buy this $60
game?" question as quickly as possibly with as much -- or as little
-- information as they desire. The game review process is now more
straightforward with an overall editor score ranging from 1 to 10
with a half-point scale, followed by a brief Good/Bad summary,
hosted video review, and an in-depth written review. Next to the
editor score gamers can view the consumer and critic scores to
quickly gauge a game's performance according to not only GameSpot's
expert editorial staff, but also to other gamers and critical
reviewers. -- New Content Download Manager GameSpot's new content
download manager features simultaneous file downloads, browse and
search capabilities, and seamless site integration ensuring a fast,
reliable and safe download experience for all users. --
Cutting-Edge Video Player The new flash-based video player provides
users with compelling content through cinema-quality video
resolution and content channels that introduce users to other new,
popular, and similar videos. From original webcasts to official
trailers, GameSpot is a top provider of industry video content
serving, on average, 15 million streams a month. GameSpot�s site
upgrades arrive just in time for the upcoming Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3), the most highly anticipated gaming
industry showcase where game developers present sneak peeks of the
year�s hottest games. While this year�s E3 will be different from
previous years� expo in many ways, one key component remains
unchanged: GameSpot�s crusade to bring all of the exciting events
happening in Southern California to the millions of game fans who
aren�t able to attend in person. From July 10 through July 13,
GameSpot will be headquartered on the Santa Monica Pier providing
gamers worldwide with unparalleled coverage including live
webcasts, up-to-the-minute reports, exclusive interviews, game
