GamePro earns 2009 Webby Honoree award!

The internet's equivalent to the Oscars, the Webby Awards, acknowledges GamePro.com as an Official Honoree selection. Woot!

GamePro wins 2009 Webby Honoree award!

We did it!

Out of 10,000 submitted websites for the 2009 Webby Awards, only a select few make the cut. The Webby Awards are the closest the internet has to an Academy Award, or Grammy Award, and being honored with one is quite a privilege in the online space. That said, the Webby group announced today that GamePro.com was selected as an Official Honoree! To put it in perspective, out of the 10,000 sites that were officially submitted to the awards, only 13 sites received Honoree status in the games-related category. We are thrilled to have been selected for this award, and to be perfectly honest I think it is well deserved. The official site has this to say about choosing websites to award:

Some are beautiful to look at and interact with. Others are a testament to usability and functionality. And a handful excel across the board. To be selected among the best is an incredible achievement worthy of praise--and perhaps a little bragging.

We as a group really hope that to all the people who come to our site everyday, we encompass a few, if not all of the aforementioned descriptions. Thanks for coming to our site and making it what it is!

THE VERDICT by George Jones George Jones's Avatar This is awesome news. I know first-hand how challenging releasing our new look was last year. I'm certainly no designer though, so 100% of the credit goes to our design and development teams: George Hu, Brandon Ferrua, Brandon Wells, Andrew Yang, Craig Eastman, Jason Klingstedt, Justin Lewis, Sui Mak, & Arthur Orneck.
