Tony Pearce, CEO and co-founder of
gamesGRABR, comments; “We’ve launched
with affiliate deals in place with Amazon and Apple, giving us a
catalogue of thousands of physical and digital games and products.
Right now we’re also speaking with a number of smaller
indie stores so that our users will also be able to discover great
hard to find gaming gems.”
Aimed at all gamers, everyone from the casual Facebook player to
the most ardent console fan will be able to discover games
content relevant to their interests, and find and follow
others with similar tastes. All users will be able to bring new
content into the site using
gamesGRABR’s unique ‘GRAB’
button, which allows them to GRAB images of their favourite
games from anywhere across the web, encouraging and enabling users
to create their own content for the site.
”Its universal appeal and the ability to play and buy
instantly, all wrapped up in a striking user experience, is what
makes
gamesGRABR one of the most exciting new e-commerce
and digital platforms around.” says Pearce.
Various new features will be officially announced and launched
in the coming months, including inter-user engagement and
connectivity with all third party gaming achievements and game
centres. There are also plans to introduce personalised RSS news
