Unparalleled Skill-Tracking Tools and Leaderboards Now Available for Battlefield 2, Lost Planet, and More
San Mateo, CA - January 29, 2008 - GameStrata, the premier developer of community tools for gamers, today announced the launch of gamestrata.com, a new online community and ranking system for gamers. In cooperation with publishers of popular online games, including EA's Battlefield 2, Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Sega's Universe at War, Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and Sega's upcoming title, The Club, GameStrata provides players with the most comprehensive data and statistics available on their own gameplay, allowing gamers to prove once and for all how they stack up against the best players in the world.
"Whether you are playing a simple, casual game or a really immersive first person shooter, everyone wants to know where they rank," said Lance Smith, CEO of GameStrata. "You may be surprised to see your stats, but you will likely be even more surprised to see how you stack up against your friends!"
GameStrata members can use the site's broad array of game-tracking tools to analyze their own skills, and share their stats with friends and competitors. More than just keeping score, the extensive data analyses of GameStrata track every aspect of the game, providing statistics for accuracy, a user's favorite weapon, kills scored on specific classes, and more. Users can proudly display their rankings in an overall profile, listed on a public "MyStrata" page for all to see. Gamers can also add select stats and achievements on other social networks, throwing down the gauntlet to their fellow gamers and friends on sites such as Facebook.
Members will be able to bring their entire guild or clan on board, building a clan site within GameStrata for any or all of their games, arranging new matches with rival groups, and keeping track of their friends' latest accomplishments with a daily clan news feed. In addition, GameStrata will integrate users' profiles with their achievements in existing third-party award systems, including Xbox Live Achievements. Allowing gamers to come together with rich community features, forums, user-provided game tips and advice, GameStrata's unique offerings will enhance the game experience for several top-tier online titles.
Gamers can sign up now or request an invite to join and find out where they stand at www.gamestrata.com.
