I am so steeped in adventure game history that I actually sort of expected the page “Moustache (As a Gameplay Concept)” to be a list of Gabriel Knight 3 and nothing else.

Ryan, you might have a point there. There’s a difference between visits (GiantBomb) and unique visitors (Eurogamer) though. GiantBomb might be doing alright but I don’t think it’s anywhere near Eurogamer, 1UP.com, or God forbid GameSpot.com. But, anyway, I guess my only point is that I’d like for them to grow.

Oooh yes, Gabriel Knight 3 has a legendary mustache. The mustache that killed a genre. Or something.

Hans, I just fixed the link. Thanks for pointing out.

So, I did that and was really surprised how easy it was to edit stuff.

Man, how could they have excluded Gabriel Knight III from the list of mustache games. Hmm… maybe I should register and go fix it.

A million visits a month is a pretty substantial amount, and a very good sign of their growth.

If you want a comparison, Eurogamer was only hitting 1.8 million per month as of late 2007 (link), and a million a year before that — I remember them making a big song and dance about each milestone.

I must admit I hadn’t looked too closely at GiantBomb before, but I’m subscribed now having seen it does seem to be a site well worth keeping track of!
