GameUp, of course, is a variation on the popular gamer term “game on” and this Magazine3 WordPress 3.0 theme is designed with gamers in mind. A magazine theme, GameUp manages to put the content together in a way that is very detailed and that will appeal to those who spend a lot of time playing games. The typography is very clear and, despite the small size of some of the homepage thumbnails, they show up brilliantly and make it easy for visitors to determine where clicking on them will take them and what content will be featured when they get there.

There is a slideshow feature on the homepage of GameUp that allows the webmaster to get the most important content on their site right in front of the viewer as soon as they arrive. This slideshow is controlled from the backend of the theme and it requires no programming skill to change the content featured and to direct visitors to another area of your site. Of course, gaming sites spend a lot of time featuring screenshots of the latest offerings from the major game designers. To make this easier on webmasters, GameUp includes an automatic resizing feature that takes your thumbnails, adjust them so that their dimensions match exactly the area of the site where dthey’re going to be featured and that ensures that the resolution of those thumbnails is one that is always easily visible to visitors.

While most gamers are very computer savvy individuals, that doesn’t mean that a theme like GameUp has to be difficult to figure out how to use. There is a theme control panel feature that allows you to alter the most significant aspects of the site very easily and without altering any of the code. The theme features two sidebars and is ready for monetization with an advertisement management feature that makes it easy to attend to your advertiser’s needs.

Flashy, bold and packed with information, GameUp presents a great option for those who like to blog about gaming. Visitors to the site will instantly recognize the modern design, but will have no difficulty finding their way around the site due to the intuitive and easy to see navigation bar that dominates the top section of the site right below the logo. With so many ease-of-use features and with so many attractive choices incontent placement, this theme is a winner.
