GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Jan 26, 2008

Alex Navarro, one of GameSpot's best, is no longer working for this website.

He was an awesome writer. What more can I say? Why should I waste your time with my words when you could be watching the action-packed video review for 24: The Game? Better yet, go have a look at Alex Navarro's insight into the process of writing a review (for a really bad game). Also, I bet you haven't seen the Big Rigs video review enough times.

Oh, he also wrote, like, 700 reviews here. If you visit this website often, it's impossible that you haven't seen at least one of Alex's reviews.

And no matter how much I disagree with them (about 95%), the man deserves a lot of credit for his year-end top 50 albums lists - and top 100 for 2007, which is even more impressive.

So, Alexis Alexander Navarro (if that is, indeed, your real name), I wish you the best of luck on future endeavors. While it is very sad that this website is left without yet another of my favorite reviewers, it's not like you're disappearing forever. I'll make sure to follow your blog.

Now, without Greg, Carrie, Jeff, and Alex (and these are just the ones I care about the most), the only reason for me to keep coming back to this website is my blog and the GS community. While I still have belief in this website's editorial team, it's not the same anymore. Sure, I'll still read stuff around here, but I think it won't be half as fun as it was before.

Yes, that's Navarro on my avatar.

Cya later, Gamespotters!!!

Nothing can stay the same forever.

It is a damn shame that he is gone, but he left one hell of a legacy behind him. He will be missed for sure.

Thanks for the reminder.
Man, this sucks big time.
I love Alex and i will be sorry to see him go.
At least he got a proper send off though.

About your comment, it was funny as I do also have Vigilante 8 sitting there, and might give that another go. And like you, TW was just too hard (and looks like it still might be) on my first attempt. And like you, I was a PS n00b when I was trying.

His sudden departure really shocked me, especially since there isn't any controversy surrounding it. Things don't feel the same here anymore which is one reason why I am not on the site as much.
