As of January 2004, however, <i>Gamepro</i> ceased to use the avatars due to a change in the overall design and layout of the magazine. Meanwhile, editorial voices carried over to the community on its online sister publication, www.gamepro.com. </p><p>There was a <a href="/wiki/Television_program" class="mw-redirect" title="Television program">TV show</a> called <i><a href="/wiki/GamePro_TV" title="GamePro TV">GamePro TV</a></i>. The show was hosted by <a href="/wiki/J._D._Roth" title="J. D. Roth">J. D. Roth</a> and Brennan Howard. The show was nationally syndicated for one year, then moved to cable (USA and Sci-Fi) for a second year. </p><p>In 1993, Patrick Ferrell sent Debra Vernon, VP of marketing, to a meeting between the games industry and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Realizing an opportunity, the team at the now-entitled Infotainment World launched E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The industry backed E3 and Ferrell partnered with the IDSA to produce the event. It was one of the biggest trade show launches in history. </p><p>Early in its lifespan, the magazine also included comic book pages about the adventures of a superhero named Gamepro who was a video game player from the real world brought into a dimension where video games were real to save it from creatures called the Evil Darklings. In 2003, Joyride Studios produced limited-edition action figures of some of the <i>Gamepro</i> editorial characters. </p><p><i>Gamepro</i> also appeared in several international editions, including France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Brazil and Greece. Some of these publications share the North American content, while some others share only the name and logo but do feature different content. </p><p>Early in 2006, IDG Entertainment began to change internally and shift operational focus from a "Print to Online" to "Online to Print" publishing mentality. The first steps; build a large online network of web sites and rebuild the editorial team. Enter: George Jones, industry veteran. </p><p>In February 2006, <i>Gamepro</i>'s online video channel, Games.net, launched a series of video-game related shows. The extensive online programming is geared towards an older and more mature audience. </p><p>In August 2006, the Gamepro online team spun off a new cheats site, GamerHelp.com. It was shortly followed by a video game information aggregation site, Games.net, and a dedicated gaming downloads site, GameDownloads.com. </p><p>Under the new leadership of George Jones, <i>Gamepro</i> magazine underwent a massive overhaul in the March 2007 issue. While losing some of the more dated elements of the magazine, the new arrangement focused on five main insertions: HD game images, more reviews and previews per issue, www.gamepro.com community showcase, user contributions and insider news. However the German Gamepro website is still run, however this time, by "<a href="/wiki/GameStar" title="GameStar">GameStar</a>" as their partner, as that website have a message at the top of the screen saying "Partner of GameStar" (Note: This is written in German) </p><p>In 2009, Gamepro's 20th anniversary coincided with 20-year industry veteran John Davison joining the newly named Gamepro Media team in October 2009 as executive vice president of content.<sup id="cite_ref-gpmedia2_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gpmedia2-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Under Davison's direction, the magazine and website were redesigned in early 2010 with an editorial shift toward focusing on the people and culture of gaming.

That month's best art would win a game-related prize.</li></ul></li> <li><b>Editorials:</b> Articles on varying topics by freelance writers and individuals working in the game industry.</li> <li><b>Spawn Point:</b> Front of magazine sections featuring behind-the-scenes game news and insights, interviews, game previews and a calendar of "gamer-culture events".</li> <li><b>The Bonus Level:</b> A short guide to "essential geek gear", including video game releases, books and game-related items for sale at various websites.</li> <li><b>Features:</b> Any cover stories or featured games/issues that warrant a separate article would be told here.</li> <li><b>Reviews:</b> This section was initially named "<i><b>ProViews</b></i>" and later renamed to "<i><b>ProReviews</b></i>". The reviews format changed over the years, although the original basic format remained the same: One reviewer speaks for the entire <i>Gamepro</i> staff about a particular game. The magazine initially began by giving each platform its own section of reviews. Near the end of 2005, <i>Gamepro</i> changed this format to have only one review for any game released on more than one platform, describing any differences that one platform may have over another with that particular game, and giving separate scores for each platform's version of the game. During 2006, another aspect of the reviews debuted, called "Key Moment", in which the reviewer names one particular instance or a standout piece of the game that led them to the decision they made in a short, one sentence description. "Key Moment" was eventually replaced by "Pros" and "Cons", found with the review score, which briefly list any issues that stand out with the game, both good and bad.</li> <li><b>Parting Shot:</b> With the major overhaul of the magazine in the February 2010 issue, Opening Shots was dropped, and Parting Shot went from being art from a particular game showcased at the back of the magazine, to a look back at the issue of Gamepro that appeared that month 10 years ago.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Retired_sections">Retired sections</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=GamePro&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Retired sections"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b>Opening Shots/Parting Shot:</b> Use of higher quality HD images and bigger, more detailed screen shots throughout the magazine. "Opening Shots" is a new screen grab gallery at the front of the magazine, while "Parting Shot" is art from a game showcased at the back of the magazine.</li> <li><b>The Hub:</b> Section dedicated to the Gamepro.com online community. Back of the magazine highlights of reader reviews, comments, new "Ask the Pros" question of the month, community leaders profile highlights, featured forum threads and the new Head2Head: User feedback and letter of the month. Every week, the Hub gets a new Featured Member. <ul><li><b>Ask The Pros:</b> Returns from the past in this new, online version of user submitted question (online) and answered by the editor of relative expertise.</li> <li><b>Head2Head:</b> User feedback and letter of the month return to new subsection in rear of each issue.</li></ul></li> <li><b>Previews (formerly known as "Short ProShots" and then "Sneak Previews"):</b> A peek at games in development, telling of the projected release dates of games and what to expect out of them. When this column first appeared, it was in the back of the magazine, with only minuscule information. In 1996, it was moved to the front of the magazine after the features. It was shortly after the rearranging in 1996 that <i>GamePro</i> started a new approach to the previews, labeling previews as either "First Look", where they may have only seen a video and only had information on storyline and features in the game, and "Hands-On", where the editor providing the preview got to play an early build of the game and described any first impressions of the game. Also added for a short time in 1996 was a "percent complete bar" graphic that noted how far along the game was. This graphic was dropped in 1999 during the 10th Anniversary redesign.</li> <li><b>Games To Go:</b> Reviews and previews of games for portable game systems.</li> <li><b>The Sports Page:</b> Previews and reviews of sports games. When this section debuted in 1993, each review and preview got its own "headline" to give the section a newspaper feel. By the end of 1996, the newspaper-style headlines were only used for one or two reviews each issue and never for previews, and they were dropped entirely in 1999 for the 10th Anniversary redesign. This section was also the first section to have the "multiplatform game review" tactic described above, in 2003.</li> <li><b>Role Players Realm:</b> Reviews, previews, and walkthroughs of <a href="/wiki/Role-playing_video_game" title="Role-playing video game">role playing games</a> (RPGs). Often a walkthrough for a game would be serialized across two or three issues. During slow months for RPGs, the section would be padded with fantasy-themed video games from other genres.</li> <li><b>Code Vault (formerly "C.S.A.T. Pro"):</b> Video game cheats, strategies, tactics, tips, secrets and easter eggs revealed. Both game companies and readers sent in submissions for this section, with a random prize to the reader who sent in the best tip (usually a game). When this section debuted as C.S.A.T. Pro, C.S.A.T. stood for "Cheats, Strategies and Tactics". In 2002 this feature was renamed "Code Vault" so as to match the name of <i>Gamepro</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s short-lived cheat-code spinoff magazines.</li> <li><b>Head-2-Head (formerly known as "The Mail"):</b> A <a href="/wiki/Letters_to_the_editor" class="mw-redirect" title="Letters to the editor">letters to the editor</a> section. They began doing a "Letter Of The Month" special in 2004, with the winning letter's author winning a particular prize. This section had begun to feature a Reader Review from their website on a particular game as a way to entice other readers to visit their site and do the same. Throughout the magazine's lifespan, this section was in the front of the magazine. However, as of April 2007's redesign, the section has been moved to the back of the magazine.</li> <li><b>Buyers Beware:</b> A consumer advocacy section in which readers send in complaints about defective and malfunctioning games, peripherals, systems, and the like. <i>Gamepro</i> was the only publication to feature such a column.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (June 2017)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> Every once in a while, the column steered away from its usual formula to feature a current widespread issue. Whenever possible, <i>GamePro</i> contacted the relevant game company and a company representative would directly answer the reader's query, sometimes with the editor putting in additional advice or critical comments if he considered the company's response inadequate. This was the only <i>Gamepro</i> column to be authored by the same editor since its debut in 1994: The Watch Dog. This section migrated onto Gamepro.com as of the April 2007 redesign, and was seemingly dropped from the print magazine.</li> <li><b>ProNews:</b> <i>Gamepro</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s news section. This section first appeared in the back of the magazine after the reviews, but found its way to the front of the magazine in 1996 to follow suit with other game magazines. This section has shape-shifted over the years to include various "game watches", a random quote generation sidebar called "Static" that seemingly disappeared after 2003. Gamepro Labs, which used to be a separate column, then appeared as a part of this section.</li> <li><b>Hot At The Arcades:</b> Previews and reviews of cabinet arcade games. This section appeared regularly for about 5 years after the magazine debuted. The section still appeared every now and again, but was absent for the most part since 1997 due to the steady decline of arcades. This section was at times folded into the Pro news section.</li> <li><b>Overseas Prospects:</b> Import games were featured and sometimes reviewed. This section is still in the magazine, but appears only rarely.</li> <li><b>Video Game Survival Guide:</b> Originally titled "16-Bit Survival Guide" when the <a href="/wiki/Super_NES" class="mw-redirect" title="Super NES">Super NES</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sega_Genesis" title="Sega Genesis">Genesis</a> were on the last year of their respective runs, to review those games that were still being released for the systems. This was changed to reflect other game systems that were close to, or even past, the end of their commercial lifespan.</li> <li><b>Adventures of Gamepro:</b> The Adventures of Gamepro was a comic strip run in the early issues of the magazine detailing the adventures of a superhero named after the magazine. He was a gamer drawn into the realm of video games to fight off evil creatures taking over game after game called the Evil Darklings.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rating_scale">Rating scale</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=GamePro&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Rating scale"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At first, games were rated by five categories: Graphics, Sound, Gameplay, FunFactor, and Challenge.<sup id="cite_ref-GPro88_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GPro88-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later the "Challenge" category was dropped and the "Gameplay" category was renamed "Control".<sup id="cite_ref-GPro88_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GPro88-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ratings were initially on a scale of 1.0 to 5.0, in increments of 0.5, but a possible 0.5 score was later added.

A graphic of five stars were shown alongside the written review. The number of stars a game earned was indicated by the number of solid stars (e.g., a game's 4-star rating was represented by showing 4 solid stars and one hollow star). No game ever received less than one star. An Editors' Choice Award was given to a game that earned either 4.5 or 5.0 stars. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Role-Player's_Realm"><span id="Role-Player.27s_Realm"></span>Role-Player's Realm</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=GamePro&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Role-Player's Realm"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>GamePro</i> had a "Role-Player's Realm" section dedicated to the coverage and reviews of <a href="/wiki/Role-playing_video_game" title="Role-playing video game">role-playing video games</a>.
