GameStats, much like Game Rankings, is a website which keeps track of video game reviews from other web sites. GameStats was founded by IGN in 2002. To differentiate itself from similar websites, GameStats includes a "GPM" system which stands for Game Popularity Meter. This keeps track of how often the page for the game is accessed, among other things. As expected, it also includes the average press score, average gamer score and combines them into a "GS Score". Its primary competitor is CNET's Game Rankings. Although IGN's own Rotten Tomatoes includes average videogame review scores, it is largely focused on films.
