Video Games Spy
What is it?
Video Games Spy is a dashboard about any video game in your web browser. Get the metacritic score, the Amazon customer review score, a selection of YouTube videos and the lowest price on a few sites.
You can open the sidebar and search for any game, or simply go to a supported site (currently IGN, Metacritic and Gamespot). When you visit a game’s page, click on the green icon to see directly the information for that game.

- Click to Install Video Games Spy
- On the yellow bar on the top of your browser, click “allow”
- Click on the link of step 2 again

I must say this is a very handy plugin when looking for extra game info. It could use more of a price comparison area to find the best deal for a game online, though. It has Amazon and Half.com but it doesn’t find the best deal.
