GameDaily

GameDaily (GD) was a video game journalism website based in the United States.

It was launched in 1995 by entrepreneur Mark Friedler under the name Gigex and focused on free game demo downloads.

The network grew to the number one position in ComScore's Games/Gaming Information category in March 2005 and was acquired by AOL on August 16, 2006.

Its staff and content were merged with Joystiq, another video game website owned by AOL.
