I would like to take this time to announce that I too quit Gamespot. Yup. Sure I never actually worked on the site and well actually I never really went to it all that much either. But right here right now I would like to announce my leave from the game site. Effective immediately.

DAYUM!

So, the only member of the old guard left is Ricardo Torres?

Is Giantbomb dot com going to be the new GameSpot killer?

Who cares? Gamespot is like videogame porn, the articles are garbage anyways. I' m only interested in the pictures.

I really got to say that I honestly dont care, Its not like I want to visit that site anytime soon.

The only time I ever go to gamespot is for there free E3 streaming uplink.

gamespots reviews I take with a huge pinch of salt, particularly if it is a well known game. I do like the hints and cheats section though for games

Be sure to check out all of the videos and podcasts, entertaining stuff

I think they should have a review section just for drinks!

Me neither and I noticed that Ryan Davis was there too. I wonder if more leavers will show up there eventually.

Alex Navarro has been a guest on their podcasts, so hopefully when the site is finally up and running and things start happening, Alex will join them. It would be nice if Ricardo showed up there at a later date as he' s one of the few old school guards still left at GameSpot.

At the very least it' d be a show of solidarity to the old GS crew, if not a slam on Gamespot itself.

Ah, Alex too. I was at his blog a while after he left and I remembered that he had some plans to join another site. I seemed to recall that he mentioned this one but I wasn' t sure.
