The Adrenaline Vault website was launched on November 1, 1995 by gamer entrepreneur Angel Munoz, with the goal of becoming an independent source of unbiased and uninfluenced information about video games.

Once a commercial site and now run by an enthusiastic team of volunteers, Avault remains a refuge from much of the industry’s compromised reporting and influenced reviews. The team dedicates its time and energy to playing some of the best and worst games out there. Why? So that when it comes to the worst of the worst – you don’t have to.

Avault doesn’t sugar coat anything, and certainly doesn’t echo what everyone else says about a game. If the reviewers don’t like it – they’ll let you know – if it’s awesome, they’ll let you know that too, and if they award it The Adrenaline Vault Seal of Excellence, you’d better believe that the reviewer was physically forced to put down the controller and step away from that game. In an effort for complete transparency, we also clearly explain how our two-pronged rating system works.

“The Avault of today still holds true to its original goal, but instead of being merely an online repository of ‘all the gaming news that’s fit to print’, it’s become an interactive online community for sharing ideas and opinions. This is a website where everyone is welcome to read, write and review everything and anything that relates to the video game industry.”
