"Allen Tyner, Lead on GameFAQs & GameRankings"

I never realized he worked on GameRankings as well.

Gamerankings has always been better than Opencritic and Metacritic. This is quite a shame

Gamerankings was the only review aggregate site I ever used so this is a bit of a bummer...

I guess its technically a merger because the gamerankings team is merging with the metacritic team

But the site itself looks like it isn't getting merged in :(

Their search is a lot more functional, there are more sorting options, and they layout is simpler in terms of finding specific reviews for specific games. Opencritic's search doesn't even work on my browser, and Metacritic's is real slow.

Plus their database is far more complete than any other review aggregator.

This is the worst news I have heard all day. The searching and sorting was vastly superior on Gamerankings. They also covered a lot more older systems.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! It's a shame it had to come to this but keeping it running just didn't make sense anymore. Marc and I have been working on this for a while now, and all of the GR data will be ported over to MC, so nothing will be lost.

This is the main thing. It's one thing if all the information gets ported over, but GameRankings has reviews on a lot of the older NES/SNES titles which Metacritic doesn't have at all. I also kinda prefer the old-time look of it over Metacritic (and Metacritic has auto-playing videos, which is a capital sin as far as I'm concerned).

Well this is a slap in a face. Iam sorry to say tht iam greatly dissappointed and as a retro gamer, greatly angered due to more sites opting for more "modern" games. There are many that rely on this site for titles no longer found on other sites. Iam mean in what way will it be merged? Will you still be able to search for res1 or hexen?
