I was wondering how certain games are selected to have pages created for the on Gamespot. For example, Stepmania does not have a page on Gamespot even though it is one of the most widely played PC-based rhythm games. Yet Starcraft and Starcraft Battle Chest both have their own exclusive pages.

Not a problem, just curious. Thanks!

Is it free? That would be one reason we don't have it.

Yes, it's free. Why does that matter?

GameSpot does not add free games to their site.

Because of the high number of free "casual" games on the Web, GameSpot restricts Web/Online-Only games to those that offer pay-to-play options. While we may decide to expand our coverage to include ALL games eventually, GameSpot's main focus is retail-released and digitally distributed games.
