Mission Statement
Video game websites are a dime a dozen.
However, independent video game websites with insightful, well-written reviews you can trust? Those are much harder to find.
That’s why New Game Network was created, and that mission guides us in everything we do. Whether you’re looking for breaking video game news or in-depth reviews of the hottest releases, you’ll find smart, insightful analysis on every one of our pages.
We know you have a lot of options when it comes to learning about your favorite video games. That’s why we’ve worked so hard to be a source you can trust — and we promise to continue to earn your trust every day.
If you love video games as much as we do, welcome — you’re in the right place.
The History of New Game Network
New Game Network was founded in 2009 by Alex “spectralshock” V and Ben “nutcrackr” T, two friends who were frustrated by the lack of smart, engaging video game discussions on the internet.
It quickly became clear that they weren’t alone in that frustration, and as the site’s readership grew, so did its editorial staff.
With thousands of articles from over 50 video game-crazed authors in the past 15+ years, New Game Network is proud to be one of the internet’s most trusted sources for game reviews and industry news.
What We Do Here
At New Game Network, we focus on anything and everything that interests today’s gamers. Regardless of whether you’ve been playing for years or just picked up a controller for the first time, we’ll be your trusted guide to the news and information that truly matters.
That includes game reviews, news articles, and strategy guides for systems like the PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and all their legacy platforms.
Our articles are written by actual gamers who care deeply about the industry, not by people chasing clicks. We cover the stories that impact players like you, and we do so in an honest and open fashion.
If it happens in the video game industry, you can learn about it here — guaranteed.
Our Standards and Ethics
We’re proud to be one of the few fully independent video game websites on the internet. That means our coverage is honest and unflinching, and our reviews are never influenced by publishers or advertisers.
We strive to ensure that all information on our site is accurate and up-to-date. If we publish an error, we commit to correcting it clearly and publicly.
Our aim is to provide honest critiques and feedback for the games we love, and to avoid clickbait and sensationalism at all costs.
Above all, we promise to act in ways that provide real value to readers like you, so that we might continue to be your preferred destination for all things video game-related.
