GameSpot App for iPad is Here!

The way I see it, the GameSpot app for iPad takes advantage of the iPad's responsive high-resolution multi-touch display to create an enhanced browsing and search experience. Users can quickly search for specific games by title, or browse reviews by genre, platform, release date or score. Sometimes, you can find some awesome tunes, too. The app lets users bookmark games they already own as well as the games they want to learn more about. In addition, users can preview screenshots of gameplay before they buy, and access walk-through videos to help guide them through the ins and outs of a game after they purchase.

GameSpot is considered by some gaming fanatics as the leading source for gaming information online. GameSpot just got way better with a launch of the GameSpot app for iPad. The app offers video reviews in high definition in addition to fully optimized iPad content. The app also delivers coverage from GameSpot, including previews and reviews of the hottest titles, breaking news, original video content, gameplay footage, trailers, interviews, photo galleries and more over Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

I can see it now, no more boredom while waiting in line at the post office or bank. If mom and dad want to talk about the latest short sale down the street, I am in heaven with my GameSpot on my iPad.

“GameSpot fans are passionate gamers and early adopters of cool technology. The iPad continues to lead the way in tablet sales because of its simplicity and design, and we’re seeing increased usage of our GameSpot site via tablets. The GameSpot app for iPad is a natural evolution of this trend,” said Simon Whitcombe, Vice President, Games, CBS Interactive. “Now, we can offer GameSpot loyalists and new users a fast, portable way to get all the latest info from the world of gaming. It’s a slick, highly compelling experience.”

The front door of the GameSpot app also features a carousel with top feature games. Users can browse through the most popular games, and with one tap on a game cover, quickly access all the reviews, videos, images and news for that game.

GameSpot works so well on iPad. In couple of years from now, players new to GameSpot will be asking, “Did GameSpot or iPad come first?”
