Introducing GamrCred, the Ultimate Rank in Games

The official announcement today of the beta key give-away for the new GamrCred service -- the Ultimate Rank in Games -- offers gamers the opportunity to see where their play, say and respect levels within their gaming communities combines to create their reputation rank.

Created by veterans of game-development powerhouse, BioWare, and social networking platform, Empire Avenue, GamrCred is aiming to become the standard across the web for measuring a gamer's reputation. The site has launched in invite-only beta, and interested gamers are encouraged to sign up at http://gamrcred.com.

GamrCred will create the world's greatest community of credible gamers. The goal is to help you to not only find other gamers and learn, but also to find great games that others are playing or excited about. As avid gamers on console, PC, mobile and tablet, they say that they also understand the issues of trying to identify great games that fit your interest and playing style. Hundreds of thousands of games on iTunes, the social web, console downloadables and more can make for an impossible list of great content to weed through, and every day a good game is likely being lost in the confusion. True that.

They believe they can help out by connecting you to gamers who you respect and whose opinions you can trust -- we want to see that so GU will stay on top of this developing story and keep you informed.
