Halifax-based IT Interactive Services, parent company of the GenieKnows.com brand of vertical search engines, announced the launch of GenieKnowsGames.com, a game-focused search portal.

GenieKnowsGames.com will provide searchers with game-related information--including reviews, blogs, discussion groups and how-to guides, as well as a search engine with algorithms tweaked to find the most game-relevant information.

"Our programmers were frustrated with other search engines where a search term like 'NBA All Star' would produce one hundred sports stories on Kobe Bryant," explains Mark Harper, vice president of strategic relations. "With our technology, you get the game-related results you're looking for, like whether Nintendo Wii will let you shoot fadeaways in your living room."
