PRISA launches Meristation

PRISA’s Meristation, the #1 online video game review site in Spanish speaking markets, debuts with a new image on the web.  Meristation was founded by Pep Sánchez in 1997. According to December Comscore data, Meristation has over 2.602.000 unique users per month, making it the videogame information leader in Spain for the last 14 consecutive years.

Among the new features included in the release is a new vertical social network focused on gaming. This allows users to share their interests, make new friends, create new game collections and favorites lists, and view their friend´s activities. This social community already has almost half a million members.

New video production is another highlight in the re-launch. The “El Pixel” daily program and the informative, “Estamos Jugando”, program are broadcasted in high definition that is compatible with Apple’s iOS devices and other mobility platforms.

Meristation now includes reviews of more casual games on the iPhone, iPad and Android platforms, allowing its users to receive the latest news and tips and secrets for their games.

The interface of the new site has been revamped, has a more modern look and feel and offers a better and more streamlined experience for the user. Additionally, fifteen years of videogame history and analysis are available to its users. Meristation has been and will continue being the destination of choice when deciding on game purchases because of the independence and objectivity of its reviews.

The Meristation community has played an invaluable role in the design and features of the new site.  The community provided suggestions, through a collaborative process, such as punctuating games by section, adding avatars to forum posts, including a “Retro” channel for classic consoles and adding videogame coverage from its beginnings in 1958.

“The power of Meristation’s community combined with PRISA Digital’s leading edge technologies has allowed us to reach higher than ever” in the words of its Director Pep Sánchez.

Once the beta launch is complete, the site´s new technology platform will make it easier and quicker to add new functionality and improvements, which will take place over the next year.

Meristation’s success has always been due to the professional team’s passion and deep knowledge of gaming, and the ability to provide high quality and rigorous content throughout the years. This deep expertise and objectivity are the foundations of trust between Meristation and its community.

"Meristation continues to be the benchmark Spanish language video gaming review website globally.  With the site relaunch and continued strong collaboration with our community we will keep giving gamers the best experience possible”, stated Kamal Bherwani, Chief Digital Officer of PRISA and CEO of PRISA Digital.
