GameBrain adds video game blocks to WordPress: a game info card, a review score
summary, a similar-games row and a where-to-buy price list, backed by a game
database of over 800,000 titles. Content is rendered on the server, so it is
real, crawlable HTML in your page — with schema.org markup that makes your game
reviews eligible for rich results in search — and it inherits your theme’s fonts
and colors instead of looking like an embedded ad.
Four blocks are included:
- Game Card — a compact fact card: cover, GameBrain Score, release date,
genres and platforms. - Review Summary — GameBrain, critic and user scores, plus what players like
and dislike. - Similar Games — a scrollable row of related titles, each with a score badge
and platforms. - Where to Buy — current store offers with prices and store logos.
Why GameBrain
- SEO-ready — everything is server-rendered HTML with schema.org markup
(VideoGame, Offer, ItemList), so your game reviews can qualify for rich
results instead of shipping empty JavaScript embeds. - Fast — game data is cached on your site and refreshed in the background;
rendering never waits on a network request. - No API key — one click connects your site; there is nothing to copy,
paste or configure. - Private — no data about your visitors is ever sent to GameBrain.
Each block can also be added outside the block editor with a shortcode or the
classic widget, so it works in the Classic editor, page builders and text widgets:
[gamebrain_game id="slug-or-id" block="card|review|similar|buy"]
Appearance is configurable site-wide (accent color, score-band colors, corner
radius, density, surface style, max width) and per block — without editing plugin
files. Advanced users can also override the documented –gb-* CSS variables and
BEM classes from Appearance Customize Additional CSS or a child theme.

External service notice. This plugin connects to GameBrain (https://gamebrain.co),
an external service, to retrieve game data. Connecting from Settings GameBrain
creates a free, site-scoped account; your site URL and admin email are sent to
GameBrain at that point. Your admin email is stored by GameBrain as the account
owner. Game data is fetched server-side and cached on your site. No data about
your visitors is sent to GameBrain. Disconnecting or uninstalling the plugin
requests deletion of your GameBrain account, including the stored email.

Attribution is optional. A small “View on GameBrain” credit link can be shown
on each block. It is off by default — turn it on from Settings GameBrain
Connection if you’d like to support GameBrain. Every block works exactly the same
whether it’s on or off.
