Changes to VGChartz - News
by Craig S , posted on 06 April 2015 / 6,617 Views
Today marks the introduction of a number of changes to VGChartz, most notably the merger of the gamrReview website with VGChartz. We hope this improves the end-user experience and marks the move towards a more integrated and less fragmented community.
So what’s changed?
- The gamrReview and VGChartz writing teams have come together under a single VGChartz banner, meaning the quantity and quality of all written content should improve going forwards. It also means no more duplicate news stories.
- All written content from both sites now appears on VGChartz itself – no more redirecting to a second website when clicking on an article in the Latest Stories section of the front page!
- By extension, this means you can comment on all news stories with your VGChartz forum accounts.
- All existing gamrReview content will be transferred over to VGChartz and its game database.
- VGChartz will now be doing its own official reviews (as well as previews), which will appear in the game database. These will be scoreless and will, instead of scores, feature a quick list of pros & cons at the end.
This is all on top of the continued efforts of VGChartz Admin TruckOSaurus, who continues to make improvements and bug fixes to VGChartz and its forums. To follow his progress, and to suggest new features and bug fixes, head on over to The Truck Stop thread.
Finally, be sure to keep an eye out for a recruitment thread in forums if you’re interested in getting involved in the site yourself. We’ll be looking for new general writers and budding sales analysts, so if you want to write about your hobby, get published on VGChartz, and earn a bit of cash in the process then look out for that thread over the next couple of days.
We’re all pretty excited about the future of the site in the weeks and months to come – from better content output, to more sales analysis, a more purposeful game database, and a more integrated and much-improved forum.

Those seem like really good changes, i like them!
Excellent job Truck! Can't wait to see what else you all have in store! :D
All sound like good changes. I want the grammar to improve a bit. It really bothers me the way companies are referred to as a group of people, and not as an entity. By this I mean "Sony is making a new game" not "Sony are making a new game".
Sounds good.
Hooray! Awesome work guys!
Raises glass for Trucks Cheers mate
So you banned me on GamrReview for doing what I suggested you do in the first place.
So goooood.
Excellent!
Without having to create an account, now I'll be able to comment the news and reviews.
Also, I like that you are also ditching scores and go with a pros and cons list.
Thank you all for the good changes!!
Now what i'm more curious to see is the new design for the site.
It's the open, community first nature of this site that has always made it so great; thank you.
HOLY CRAP I CAN COMMENT!
HOLY CRAP! DUPLICATE COMMENT!

i never understood why vgchartz and gamrreview were separate...
maybe you guys should update the website and sales numbers first before taking on more responsibilities.
Yeah, seem good...

So who's Craig Snow?
Sooooo.... ioi bought gamrReview?...
