GameTrailers (GT) was an American video gaming website created by Geoffrey R. Grotz and Brandon Jones in 2002. The website specialized in multimedia content, including trailers and gameplay footage of upcoming and recently released video games, as well as an array of original video content focusing on video games, including reviews, countdown shows, and other web series. – Wikipedia

After 13 years, GameTrailers is closing down today. Thank you for your continued support over the years. It has been an adventure.

The website started redirecting to GameTrailers's YouTube channel on 2016-05-18.
