It's looking like the video game mail order rental service GameFly is looking to the future and expanding into more and more areas. Earlier this year the company made the surprise announcement that they were acquiring the popular gaming news web site Shacknews and its associated file download site Fileshack. Now Shacknews is reporting that GameFly has recruited now former 1Up.com editor Garnett Lee to become GameFly's new editorial director.

Lee will supervise all of GameFly's editorial based web sites including Shacknews, FileShack and a number of other sites that GameFly has either acquired or launched on their own. That includes their casual gaming cite Ponged, their game cheat code site Cheat Freak and their social gaming answer site Gameanswers.com. Lee will write a weekly column for Shacknews and also develop a new podcast.
