America Online today announced the launch of BigDownload.com, a joint collaboration between the internet company and Weblogs, Inc. Specifically targeting PC gamers in this venture, BigDownload will offer free downloads, demos, HD game trailers, along with news and reviews.
“AOL Games is adding to our network of gaming sites by bringing a one-stop online destination to computer gaming enthusiasts,” said John Benyamine, Senior Product Manager, AOL Games and BigDownload.com. “In addition to serving this niche fan base, BigDownload.com provides advertisers an opportunity to reach gaming enthusiasts directly and a chance to create interesting and exclusive campaigns surrounding content.”
“Unlike competing sites, BigDownload.com offers fast and free file downloads with no required sign-up process, subscription fees or lengthy queues,” said Barbara Dybwad, Senior Producer, Weblogs, Inc. “Our staff of writers eats, breathes and sleeps PC gaming so they can bring readers a deeper level of analysis. They’re also committed to a diverse range of original and community features, exemplifying BigDownload.com as a participatory media where the “audience” is encouraged to be a part of the site.”
With this, AOL now appears to have all of their gaming coverage needs handled, with blogs (Joystiq), as well as regular industry coverage (GameDaily).
