\n<\/em>SAN FRANCISCO \u2013 May 13, 2008<\/strong> \u2013 What They Like, Inc., provider to parents of unbiased information and insight about the various forms of popular entertainment that engage their children, today announced it acquired the entire review archive of GamerDad.com, a parent-oriented video game website. GamerDad\u2019s deep archive of more than 1,000 game reviews will be re-branded and integrated into What They Play (www.whattheyplay.com<\/a>), the parents guide to video games, launched November 2007 by What They Like. The addition of this new content to What They Play\u2019s already substantive offerings further expands the most comprehensive collection of unbiased video game descriptions and features on the Internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of GamerDad\u2019s editorial content bolsters What They Play\u2019s already strong position as the leading information resource for parents about the video games their children play,\u201d says Ira Becker, CEO of What They Like, Inc. \u201cThe overwhelmingly positive feedback we\u2019ve received from parents, media, and the video game industry in our first six months validates the need for What They Play and confirms just how valued the service is that we provide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of what GamerDad has accomplished over the past five years and pleased that the editorial database we\u2019ve built will live on and continue to benefit parents through What They Play,\u201d says Andrew Bub, founder of GamerDad. \u201cWhat They Like and GamerDad are fundamentally aligned in the belief that good parenting is informed parenting.\u201d<\/p>\n
