GameRankings?

[FP]

Whenever I visit GameRankings.com it redirects to GameSpot. Is this new or have I just been out of the loop for too long?

The old webpage was still up last night, but the console links got a 404 error when I tried to click through.

My thoughts exactly. I love GameRankings...

Gamespot has owned Gamerankings for quite a few years now, or they at least owned a significant portion of the pie. Did you never notice that all the news links went right to Gamespot?

Well, now they're redirecting to metacritic.com?

There's a message saying they are undergoing maitenance, then it redirects to metacritic in about 5 seconds.

I never knew gamerankings and metacritic were sister sites. Kind of pointless, no?

They are all owned by CNET, which is now owned by CBS.
