About us

 

What is the Reimaru Files?

We are a site that is basically all about gaming; from news about the gaming industry, trends of the popular gaming peripherals up to the reviews of the newest games, we got everything covered to cater to your gaming needs. And aside from video games, we also tackle the latest tech gadgets, talking about the new mecha series or toys and covering some of the biggest tech & pop culture conventions from both local and international. Our goal is to enlighten and inform the community on the plus side of the geek culture through our content in both written and video formats.

Our History

Originally created as a fan blog for the MMORPG Granado Espada last 2007. After moving on from the game, Reimaru Files began making features on PlayStation Portable games in 2008 as a pastime, and then expanded to different gaming consoles the year after. Then in 2011, it was finally launched as a bona fide gaming website that caters to all gamers and geeks alike.

Site Improvements

The site was initially hosted on Blogspot, Google’s blog publishing platform. Realizing the need to establish a separate identity as a brand, Reimaru Files has now moved from Blogspot to a self-hosted server by Sakura Index Network, which has, in turn, followed through to become Cyne Creative. Reimaru Files is also the founding partner of the Media Index Group, which aims to provide a wide spectrum of content across different topics, fandom, and media. As of 2020, Reimaru Files has updated to a new theme, complete with a new focus on content!

 

Since starting from a one-man team in producing content, Reimaru Files is now composed of:
