Hey, just a quick line to let you in on a new community that I have gotten involved in and I highly recommend you do too.

It's called Goozex. It's a gaming website where you can buy games, but the real attraction is there game trading system.

You trade games amongst other gamers rather than actually buying them.

Gamers post up games they have, you use the Goozex currency to "buy" the game, then they ship it to you, and they pay for shipping!

You can trade games to get points, or if you aren't into that you can buy 100 points for 5 bucks. So far I have gotten Metroid Prime, Manhunt, Splashdown Rides Gone Wild, Neverwinter Nights, Kung Fu Kaos, Star Wars BattleFront 2(PSP), Knights Of The Old Republic, Halo 2, and Omikron: The Nomad Soul....

...All for 100 points, or, if you don't want to trade for $5 each.... pretty cheap and very easy.

Anyway, here is the link, I hope you try it out and like it as much as I do…

Enjoy! Ill Talk To You All Later

Hi Everyone,

Well, after a significant break from Gamespot I have decided to return. I haven't been around lately for many reasons, like school and essays and friends and school and essays and also essays. But I'll be around a bit more often now that things are starting to calm down.

So....

Firstly, I ask you to take this news with a grain of salt, but I have some fairly reliable info that tells me that EA, as in Electronic Arts is SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING coming out with something new in the next few years. And by something new I don't mean a new game. Now, I've already said too much, and I don't want to get anyone in trouble, so I'm not going to tell you anything else. But please, trust me, its reliable.

However, this isn't good. There are enough Mediocre EA products on the Market Right now, we certainly do not need a big project like this coming out and making the market even more confused.

Anyway, that's that.

So there you have it. I should probably go I'm supposed to be getting some Education right now and I'm not paying attention. And someone just said the word "TEST".

Have a good day all,

Well im pissed off, and you should be too. At this point I'm still unsure if the rumors are ture. Nobody except for those involved really knows what it truly hapening in this situation. However, at this point the evidence, such as the new Penny arcade comic, various people refusing to talk, and the lack of denial, is pointing towards the sad reality that all of this may be true.

Well, I'm just going to complain for one second, but I just wanted to point out how big a deal this all really is to the gaming community.

First off, its not the loss of Jeff G. that I'm talking about. He was a good writer, and a funny guy but really, that's not the issue here. The issue is that this entire fiasco is all about the denial of the freedom to write whatever he wanted to write. Apparently his giving an honest opinion of a game (which I totally agree with, Kane and Lynch is disgustingly awful) got him in trouble with the games financial backers, Eidos, and now he is out of a job.

So basically, the fact that he wrote something the Eidos guys didn't like got him fired. BUT!!!!! It's important to consider the fact that it obviously wasn't Eidos that fired him. It was our once beloved Gamespot.

Are they really that influenced by their sponsors that they are willing to let go their primary personality to make them happy?

I realize that finances are important but have Gamespot become the sponsor's puppet?

We will see.

I fear for the state of gaming journalism.

This is a dark time for our hobby, and four our site. Lets Hope they get it all worked out sooner rather than later.

Drop us all a line and let us know what you think about this very crappy situation.
