Futuremark Corporation has launched YouGamers, the World’s First Intelligent Gamer website. A destination for PC gamers, it offers full reviews/ previews of original games, gaming industry news and exclusive interviews.

What makes it intelligent is its Game-o-meter? gaming performance analysis, a service that scans your PC, estimates the system’s gaming performance and provides you with an accurate assessment of how well your PC measures up on the game of choice. Results are based on Futuremark’s database of over 13 million benchmarks results. So now, you could do a test on how good or bad the game runs on your computer without relying on the printed game compatibility summary and taking a chance with purchasing the game.

Currently the game database has about 100 or so PC titles with ratings and system requirements. Each game review actually has a convenient comparison service with direct shopping links (with prices) allowing you to purchase it immediately. The shopping links I noticed were from Amazon, Wal-Mart and J&R Music Computer World. I am not sure whether they have more shopping retailers to choose from but will assume that they probably do. Each user can also categorize the site’s information with tagging, a must have feature in Web 2.0 sites nowadays.

Visually, the site has a futuristic look with cool blue shades. The layout of the site is neat and organized. I loved the way the reviews and previews were laid out, (unlike most gaming sites) they managed to fit a lot of features and links within a page and still make it very pleasing to the eyes with no clutter. Each review has a nice end of review summary with scoring ratings broken down into 5 areas: gameplay, graphics, audio, technology and an overall average.

“YouGamers is a complete web resource for gamers that offers a full range of game information and an active community, but with an intelligent twist. Every gamer website up to this point has only provided a piece of the puzzle, largely ignoring the relationship between PC hardware and game-play,” said Tero Sarkkinen, EVP Sales and Marketing of Futuremark Corporation. “We’ll provide the regular news, reviews, links, content and forums, but YouGamers is smarter than that. Aside from serving the enthusiast gamer with detailed gaming performance analysis, we also help all gamers by telling them which games their PC can play well, before they actually buy one. We also give reliable upgrade and new PC purchase advice for an even better enjoyment of gaming. YouGamers is going to change what gamers expect from game websites.”

Together with a full featured forum for game discussions, YouGamer is a great next generation PC gaming site that may soon give some of the current top gaming sites a run for their money.
