In March 2008, GameShadow announced it had achieved over 1 million registered users, and had launched a new Gaming Network - a social community driven by the titles installed on gamers' PCs.

GameShadow was also partnered with many hardware and software developers including ATI Technologies, NVIDIA, Grisoft and Philips.

[3] These aim to identify the most innovative games of 2006, whether they come from major publishers or small development teams.

The Awards were sponsored by Microsoft Visual Studio, ATI Technologies, Moviestorm, Softwrap and Limelight Networks.
