Gametrailers is a network which focuses on video games and related matters. These subjects can include the games themselves, histories of video games, observations of the gaming community and a number of other topics.
In general, the network tends to specialize in three specific formats. The first is live gameplay. These shows feature people actually playing video games in real time. Additionally, some shows might even let viewers comment on the action as it occurs.
The second style of show involves commentary. These shows feature a host or hosts who comment or critique games and gamers. Many of these shows are done in earnest and attempt full journalistic objectivism. However, many of them aim for a more comedic or even satiric style. Some shows combine the two themes. These shows attempt to offer serious commentary by using a comedic format. Shows which focus on video game commentary may also have a rotating guest panel. The network will often invite people from a variety of positions within the game industry to discuss their jobs.
The third type of show focuses on trailers for video games. This was the original focus of the network, but it's become less important over time. These shows are often set around a general theme. Some are straight listings of video game trailers. The trailers might also be collected within a specific subject. For example, The Top 100 Trailers of All Time counted down the hundred best video game trailers. The network also features commentary on the filming and structure of video game trailers.
