Extreme Gamer is a video game review site that is focused on updating our readers with the latest reviews for the handheld and console market of gaming. We also update our news feed daily keeping up with the latest news, press releases, game releases, and rumors. Our staff is filled with dedicated and talented souls who wish nothing more than to spread their views on the gaming. Extreme Gamer’s main staff each has been unique decertified backgrounds in everything from retail management, to philosophy majors with a very common bond in gaming. Since 2004 the amount of reviews have grown in numbers long with our presence on the internet, beyond our humble beginnings as an Xbox only review site. Extreme Gamer now handles the next generation of gaming along with the respected handheld gaming devices.
The reviews we provide are intended to help inform the gaming community about games they are thinking about purchasing, or have already purchased. Since games aren’t cheap and renting also has its drawbacks, we want to reader to have a dependable source for honest reviews. Since we are not sponsored and operated with low profits, we’re never swayed by the corporate dance of other large scale companies. You also might notice a variance in a scale compared to other popular gaming destinations and this is mainly because we passionate about the games and give them their fair judgment without bias.
Our rating scale which was developed in our conception takes a different approach than other gaming sites with a strong focus on innovation, gameplay, presentation (graphics & sound) and mojo. The scale runs in increments of 5 and goes from 0-10 (0% 100%). Since the majority of the writers have been playing games for over 15 years we brings a strong rating along with years of gaming experience and wisdom. Very few titles have picked with a perfect 10/10 rating, and we try to keep the scoring balanced between genre, competition, and content.
I'd like to thank all our readers and staff who have contributed to Extreme Gamers success over the years, I'm sure we have a few more in us. Well, enough talk, let's get back to the games! •Review count: September 2009 - 705 games reviewed •Extreme Gamer quotes have used in accociation with Activision, EA Sports, DigitalExtremes, and Ubisoft.
Extreme Gamer is looking for a few good peeps!
Extreme Gamer is on the hunt for any interested people who want to explore the wonderful world of video game journalism, or have other skills, we might be interested in. All you need is one of our supported consoles and an opinion. Game reviewing is just one persons perspective on the experience they had while playing a game. Unfortunately, the system works on a work-for-free basis, but occasionally you might enjoy a few "perks". Extreme Gamer isn't the biggest site around, but we pride ourselves on honest quality reviews with some flavor.
If you are interested just drop us a line, tell me a bit about yourself. If you have examples of your writing that's a bonus. We hope you can be part of the team.
