Gamespot Goes to Subscription Model

Posted by michael on from the ask-not-for-whom-the-paypal-tolls dept.

-PS-Sangloth writes "Gamespot, arguably the best video gaming website will expand in July to a pay service(Gamespot Complete). It seems that while review scores will be free, the actual reviews for new PC games will cease to be available to non-payers 7 days after the review was written. This is a real pity, I suspect many PC Gamers, like me, don't have credit cards(or cash), and Gamespot has good, hard, objective reviews. Read what they said at Gamespot Complete."

    Easy start going to gamespy & their affiliates. The reviews are normally a little more in depth even, it's doubtful they'll ever want to charge you for reviews, & their is more than reviews you can access.

    So why use gamespot if they want to charge you?

    Anymore I just use Gamepsy & Gamefaqs for all my gaming needs...
