Video Games Daily: a website about games that punched above its weight and upset the big boys. The site's huge archive of content can be accessed through the showcase feature below (and categories above).
VGD is taking a break until further notice, but currently lives on in our brand new entertainment site, proudly bearing the site's original name... Kikizo (here's why!).
Below is a celebration of this site, and of the best ever years in gaming. We'll see you at the new Kikizo!

Hitting its stride in 2004, Kikizo/VGD took the absolute monkey out of its competitors when it secured and published a world-exclusive video interview with Satoru Iwata, notoriously hard-as-nails to pin down for consumer media. We also started doing ludicrous 30-min+ video features, before YouTube existed. [Year Review]

In 2008 we started banging on about "10 years", which was a bit confusing as the site launched in 2003 (its predecessor launched in 1998). Truth was, we just wanted to claim ten years a month before Eurogamer did, so that worked. We also nailed down Kikizo first-timers including Ubisoft's CEO and Hideo Kojima. Other sites got their first little interviews with Kaz, as we picked up our third. And despite eternal hatred for "that" 2005 story, we continued our rather irrational level of AM2 fan service.

We made a few changes in 2009 and became "Video Games Daily", aptly reflected on our best interviewees to date, caught up with old faves Peter Moore and Yuji Naka (best friends, apparently), met Nolan Bushnell, and became the first to experience Natal for the first time (which also happens to be the most recent time).

Pretty much business as usual in 2010.

And so to the present. It's been a strange year, but we've been preparing the new site on the quiet since the start, so there! [What's Next...]
