NeoGAF (formerly named the Gaming Age Forums) is a video game internet discussion forum, founded as an adjunct to Gaming-Age, a video game news site. [1]

On any given day, thousands of game fanatics — and a sizable number of developers, marketers, and journalists — take a break from whatever they should be doing to log in to the message boards at NeoGAF.com, a no-holds-barred WrestleMania of breaking game news and snarky commentary. [2]

Scribblenauts has inspired something wonderful over at NeoGAF: fan-created images of popular game characters and other pop-culture figures in the game’s adorable, understated style. [3]

NeoGAF is a fail site started by the 40-Year old virgins who like video games. [4]

How online forums influence game makers and marketers. [2]

Essentially it is a gaming site that makes big deals about Gaming News that was already reported on multiple sites before it. [...] I’m sure you’ll be wanting to visit internet based locations relevant to your interests. [4]

After IGN ceased hosting of GAF in the summer of 2001, GAF moved to ezboards, and the administration of GAF became more estranged from Gaming Age. [1]

NeoGAF is not written as Neogaf, neogaf, NeoGaf, Neo Gaf, or especially not Neo gaf (This is blasphemy to the GAFFERs). [4]

The site’s regulars, unpaid enthusiasts working mainly to bolster their reputation within the gaming community, sift through the vastness of the Internet in search of any detail, screenshot, or video they can dig up about the games they love and the people who create them. [...] Jeff Bell (VP of global marketing, interactive entertainment business, Microsoft): We like to get feedback, and we take it very seriously, but we always encourage people to try and be polite. [...] I’m just some anonymous message board poster who criticized a corporate executive. [...] The site is proof that, though ancient by Internet standards, message boards are a vital part of the gaming ecosystem, providing an outlet for passionate players to be heard by and influence industry tastemakers, creators, and deciders. [...] Mike Maag (”a Master Ninja,” NeoGAF poster): The general consensus seemed to be that Bell came off a bit like a used car salesmen during his presentation. [2]

The NeoGAF forums exploded in a fury of wild emotions at IGN UK’s recent review of the much anticipated Heavenly Sword. [3]
