From 2007 to 2017, the website's editor-in-chief was Matt Atchity, who left in July 2017 to join "The Young Turks".

Review bomb A review bomb is an Internet phenomenon in which large groups of people leave negative user reviews for video games and other products in an attempt to harm their sales and popularity. This is often done in response to an actual or perceived slight towards customers by the creator or publisher of a game, such as anti-consumer gameplay changes or insults, in an attempt to force them to listen when other attempts have failed. However, in some cases, it is simply done as a means of coercion or trolling. Review bombing is intended to affect sales of the game that is targeted: leaving a large number of negative reviews may lower the game's aggregate rating on the service, which could alter the choice to buy the game from consumers who use that aggregate rating as a principle part of their purchasing decision.

Famitsū scores The Famitsū scoring system is a video game rating system by Famitsū and is done via a "Cross Review" in which a panel of four video game reviewers each give a score from 0 to 10 (with ten indicating the best game). The scores of the four reviewers are then added up for a maximum possible score of 40. From the twenty two games awarded with a perfect score as of 2016 , three are for the Nintendo DS and five are for the Wii. The PlayStation 3 also has five games with a perfect score and the Xbox 360 has four, with both consoles having two titles in common. The others are for different platforms with only one title each. Franchises with multiple perfect score winners include "The Legend of Zelda" with four, "Metal Gear" with three, followed by Dragon Quest and "Final Fantasy" with two.
