The Metroid Prime: Hunters Debacle
I'm not one to get carried away by a game's review score. There are few reasonably questionable verdicts given here at GS, but even if I do find a review of theirs dubious, I generally just press...
Ever since I got Mario Kart for DS I've loved playing it online. Sure, I have to deal with playing the same type of racers time and time again, and that gets old, but those special times that I...
I'm a convivial person. I have the GameSpot badge to prove it. I don't know what it means, convivial, but I think it goes along the same lines as friendly. Cool. I'll go with that. I'm...
Okay, 25/8 is a stretch, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. I've been putting in 12+ hours a day at work this week, and it's killing any chance to really get into the forums and whip up...
I'm pretty drunk, and I lost $20 at poker with my buddies. I suck at poker. Some friends, eh? The GBA is one of my very favorite consoles. I love that little thing. I wish I had a Micro, but...
I missed the freakin' ReviewSpotting deadline. I really wanted my Mario Kart DS review in there... maybe could have gotten a twofer. Dah well, it happens. We'll see how things unfold in the...
So there's this weekly competition in the "Community Contributions Union" that highlights the top user reviews of that week. I saw the thread in GGD and it got me interested, but I didn't have a...
w00t! I got Mario Kart DS today! Hooray for me! Hooray for the DS! Hooray for having to go to work today! Wait... scrap that.
I wanted to whip out a quick poem to focus in on this topic, but then something occured to me: I don't want to work that hard. I'd probably laugh at myself for it later, and rightfully so. ...
Now that my head's stopped spinning from all the hurricane kicks and hundred-hand slaps in CvS2, all I can think about is getting a PS2 so I can play SFIII: Third Strike (among the now lengthy...
So, this is GameSpot's new look. I like it. I really do. Some things I could do without, like that I can't figure out how the hell I can stop tracking Battalion Wars, but for the most part I'm...
Once again, I've meandered back to the old GameSpot journal just to enter some musings sure to please the masses. By the masses I mean the one somewhat interested user curious about my oath and...
So I'm finally back from my deployment to the motherland of gaming, Japan. It was a great trip, but I'm so glad to be home. Besides missing my wife and two babies desperately, along with my...
Earlier today, a pal of mine asked if I mind if he plays through my Golden Sun games. I don't mind, naturally. In fact, I was instantly looking forward to his impression of what my very favorite...
I've never really had any interest in a Resident Evil game. It's not that I outright disliked the series, just that I never found it appealing enough to want to play. Enter the hype machine....
If there's one thing that's been inescapably true about me throughout my history with gaming it's that I'm exceedingly good at fighting games (I suck as much at FPSs, though). It goes way back to...
I really hate that I'm not going to be able to submit an entry in the Developer for a Day 3 contest GameSpot is hosting. As much as it hurts to admit it, I'm just too busy. Work alone demands...
Facing this question in the GS General Games Discussion forum, I responded with: I don't play games to "become" another character for a short period of time. I've never understood that mindset,...
I never write in this thing. I always tell myself I will, but I usually spend so much time perusing the rest of this site that I never actually dig in and write some of the things that come to...
If I had it my way, the three big consoles would have greater longevity as opposed to getting new systems within the next couple of years. Back when I was young, just having a regular old...
