"[...] It might be cool if instead of always being a "play with the staff" thing, it turned into broadcasted Giant Bomb community tournaments. Maybe not every week, but on occasion. You guys aren't really engaging the people you're playing with anyway, and a lot of times in fighting games you already sit out and watch other people play. Add a bracket and it instantly becomes more interesting, throw in prizes if it makes sense and it's even more so.
Exactly my thoughts as well. Often times I sit and watch TNT to hear the staff talk about games and on occasion to see what's happening. Like taking a game, old or not, inviting developers where you can just sit down and have a chat with them about games in general or some particular aspect of the game that was really well done. I don't know but it's probably hard getting developers to come to you and sit down to have a chat about their game, but it could also work to just have the staff talk about it. Maybe take questions/thoughts from the community to contribute to a cool discussion about some aspects of the game. What they thought was good or bad, why? etc...More developers or guests in general would be fun as well. The Duke 3D episode was great, not for the game, but for having Pachter, John St John and Broussard. Dino for Dead Space 2 was also really cool. Getting an in-depth look at a game like that is interesting. Hell, the N64 discussion from last week had nothing to do with Crysis, but it was fascinating. More stuff like that on the site in general would be great. "
As for my suggestions for games, it mostly contains of Real-Time Strategy games like, Dawn of War 2, Men of War, Total War: Shogun 2 and Supreme Commander 2. Why not have Norm and Brad sit down and play Starcraft 1 multiplayer and see how they look at it now with Starcraft 2 out.
PS. Sorry for the rambling if anyone cares, im getting tired...
