GameSpot is a video gaming Youtube channel that provides game reviews, previews, and news. It is the companion channel to the Gamespot website created by Pete Deemer, Vince Broady, and Jon Epstein. GameSpot's coverage is broad, including games from many different genres and platforms. They frequently cover Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation, PC, and mobile games on the IPhone and Android.
GameSpot uses a five category system for its reviews. The categories are Gameplay, Graphics, Sound, Value, and Reviewer's Tilt. The game is rated from one to ten in each category. The scores are then averaged to determine the games "total score." Not every game has an accompanying video review, but the ones that do can be found on the Gamespot Youtube channel.
The Gamespot channel itself features several original, regularly occurring gaming issue discussion shows such as "The Point," "The Lobby," "The Gist," and "In 2 Minutes." They host a daily gaming news show Monday through Friday, with a recap of the top five stories of the week on Friday. The main channel is also where fans can find tech reviews, interviews, game previews, and giveaways. Gamespot's well known "Game of the Year Award" can also be found on their main Youtube channel.
Within the Gamespot network there are several other side Youtube channels that focus on more specific areas such as GameSpot Gameplay, GameSpot eSports, GameSpot mobile, and GameSpot Trailers.
