=== Website ===
Game Informer [[online]] awalnya diluncurkan pada bulan Agustus 1996, dan menampilkan ''update'' berita dan artikel sehari-hari. ''Justin Leeper'' dan ''Matthew Kato'' dipekerjakan pada bulan November 1999 sebagai editor web purna waktu. Sebagai bagian dari pembelian majalah, situs itu ditutup sekitar Januari 2001.<ref name="ontheweb">"On the Web" (August 2001). ''Game Informer'', p. 49. "Sadly, this ill-fated site was to last little more {{sic|that}} a year, as gameinformer.com would fall prey to the massive meltdown of the Internet economy in February <nowiki>[of 2001]</nowiki>."</ref> Leeper dan Kato keduanya akhirnya ditempatkan pada redaksi majalah.
 
''GI online'' diluncurkan kembali pada bulan September 2003, dengan desain ulang lengkap dan banyak fitur tambahan, seperti database ulasan, update berita yang lebih sering, dan konten eksklusif "tak terbatas" bagi pelanggan.

Pada bulan Februari (kadang-kadang Januari), editor Game Informer mengumpulkan data untuk menghitung dan menilai "''Top 50 Game tahun lalu''". Permainan diurutkan dalam urutan tanggal rilis. Permainan tersebut tidak memiliki peringkat, namun mereka mendapatkan penghargaan khusus seperti ''Game of the Year'' dan lain-lainnya. Permainan tersebut juga memiliki "''Top 10 chart"'' dengan kategori yang berbeda, baik di bagian ''50 Game Top'' di website maupun di majalah biasa.

== Ulasan ==
Game Informer saat ini mengulas permainan-permainan yang ada di [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation 4|Playstation 4]], [[Xbox One]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PC]], [[Nintendo 3DS]] dan konsol [[PlayStation Vita]]. Permainan keluaran lawas diberi ulasan singkat di bagian ''GI Classic''. Namun ini dihentikan pada tahun 2009, beberapa bulan sebelum design ulang majalah. Majalah ini memberi peringkat pada skala 1 sampai 10 dengan interval seperempat poin. Skor 1 dianggap "lebih buruk" daripada "mengerikan"; Skor 10 adalah skor untuk permainan "hampir sempurna", "luar biasa"; dan 7 adalah skor "rata-rata", yaitu permainan yang enak dimainkan (tapi cacat). Sebuah lelucon di setiap ulasan adalah bahwa dalam tabel ulasan (majalah mendefinisikan apa arti dari masing-masing skor), Skor 1 selalu berubah menjadi lelucon yang berbeda.

Aku hanya bercanda, namun skor Kabuki Warriors nol, sedangkan pantat saya satu." Hal ini dikonfirmasi oleh teman sesama editornya. Ulasan game lain untuk Classic GI - [[Marky Mark: Make My Video]] untuk [[Sega CD]] - diberi 0, sehingga menjadikan game ini paling terendah yang dinilai oleh Game Informer. Skor 1 diberikan kepada game [[Kinect]] yaitu [[Hulk Hogan's Main Event]] pada Desember 2011 Skor 1 juga diberikan ke [[Postal III]], yang dikutip sebagai gameplay yang buruk. Pada tahun 2009, Editor Bryan Vore memberikan skor 1 untuk game [[Wii]] [[Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution]]. Ia menyebutnya "mengerikan setiapkali dibayangkan". Skor 1 juga diberikan kepada [[Fighter Within]]
