From its humble beginnings in the early days of online video game coverage more than a decade ago, Shacknews has grown to become one of the leading gaming sites on the internet. Shacknews covers games across every major platform with news and in-depth previews and interviews, and is home to a large community of dedicated gamers.

Shacknews also offers high-speed downloads of demos, patches, movies, as well as thousands of screenshots and streaming videos. Shacknews reaches millions of gamers every month with the work of a small but dedicated full-time staff.
