Google Search Finally Adds Information About Video Games

Posted by timothy on from the where's-my-danged-atari-2600?! dept.

An anonymous reader writes Google has expanded its search engine with the capability to recognize video games. If your query references a game, a new Knowledge Graph panel on the right-hand side of Google's search results page will offer more information, including the series it belongs to, initial release date, supported platforms, developers, publishers, designers, and even review scores. Google spokesperson: "With today's update, you can ask questions about video games, and (while there will be ones we don't cover) you'll get answers for console and PC games as well as the most popular mobile apps."

    People are still making video games? I thought we all got sick of that after Duke Nukem Forever?

      Why do we need new games? Everyone knows Quake 3 attained perfection in 1999. It's a scientific fact.
