Have a gander over at MetaCritic.com. Remind you of anything? How about Rotten Tomatoes. The whole giving stuff a rating based on what all the other critics have said. Seems a little familiar huh?
And in case your not aware, the proud owner of Rotten Tomatoes is IGN. One of the major gaming sites on the internet. And of course, one of CNet’s major properties is GameSpot, the other major gaming site on the internet.
In recent years, CNet have made a large bid to move into the entertainment arena, not just gaming. But whereas IGN have gone for channels, CNet just bought out other properties. They took MP3.com, TV Tome which they prompted turned into TV.com and also have Game FAQs.
CNet have already gone out for the best though. The amount of one word domains they own is scarey:
TV.com
Radio.com
MP3.com
Builder.com
Shopping.com
Help.com
Download.com
Downloads.com
Sharware.com
Freeware.com
Search.com
News.com
Com.com
Welcome.com
They probably have more too, I’ll post them as I think of them.
