ComputerAndVideoGames.com

ComputerAndVideoGames.com is the web-based successor to Computer and Video Games magazine, the world's oldest specialist gaming publication.

History

Launched in August 1999, CVG as it's almost universally known, is one of the UK and Europe’s leading gaming web sites. Primarily known for its original and exclusive news reporting, CVG also features a mix of current and next-generation multi-format gaming reviews, previews, features and interviews, as well as a new emphasis on video and multimedia content. It’s also renowned for its rather irreverent tone, cheeky sense of humour and uniquely British take on the world of gaming.

CVG was originally owned by EMAP, before being bought by Dennis Publishing. In 2004 CVG was acquired by Future Publishing who remain its current owners. In 2006, the site underwent a major re-design and relaunch to bring it up to scratch for the so-called next generation of Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii Gaming.

In 2007 CVG became the hub of a new CVG Network, hosting magazine sites for all of Future Publishing’s unofficial gaming magazines including PC Gamer, PC Zone, Xbox World 360, PlayStation World, PSM3 and NGamer as well as long standing cheats site, CheatStation.

Golden Joysticks

CVG also hosts the annual Golden Joystick awards, the longest running gaming ceremony in the world and also widely acknowledged as one of the most prestigious of all gaming awards, as they’re voted for by solely by the general gaming public. Originally created way back in 1982, the Golden Joysticks enter their 25th Silver Anniversary year in 2007, with the 2006 awards attracting over 540,000 votes and being webcast for the very first time.
