MobyGames is an online gaming website for computer and video games. It is also a review site which allows their critics to give their opinion's on any video game. The site has a lot of video game information. Their goal is to be a huge game database and allow users to add information to the website by providing screenshots and adding the names of the people who worked behind a video game.
As of July 17, 2012, the site includes 131 gaming platforms (video game consoles, computers and handheld devices including mobile phones.) They also have more than 67,000 game entries,[1][2] in 40 years of gaming. GameFly bought the site in 2010.[3]
