Can anyone recommend any good videos from the Gamespot days

Basically what the title says although I have seen the Big Rigs, God and Generals, and Charlies Angels reviews and have also seen the glory that is the button mashing intro.

out of interest is the episode 19 of TT a joke or am i really missing out on 18 other amazing videos?

#7 Edited by Death_Burnout (3704 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

@Tamaster92: Totally a joke :) unfortunately!

Oh unless you count the 2 animated episodes which apparently are going to see the light of day finally.

Because of this gem, I still often find myself weighing questionable purchases against a meatball sandwich.

There was one about the history of Gamespot that was very funny. Greg and Jeff talking about how their forefathers built gamespot.

It was a faux-History channel show and one of the most entertaining pieces of content ever on that site. Too bad I can´t find it anywhere.

Edit: Woooooo! I found it.. was hidden with Kasavin´s stuff: http://au.gamespot.com/users/GregK/video_player?id=InU6xjKq5bwEvQ

I think this is something everyone needs to see. It seems a lot of newer people don't "get" Alex's weird way of doing things (IE: His obscenely long article titles and odd review styling) but after you see his old reviews and videos it all makes sense.

Not a video, but http://www.thisyearcollection.org/ does a fantastic recap highlight of the HotSpot podcast with Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Brad and Ryan from 2005 to 2007. It's really good.

The Tournament TV's are very cool in my opinion. The Total War one is actually what got me into Gamespot and then subsequently GiantBomb.

@Benny: The ending to that NASCAR TTV was crazy. Them freaking out at the finish to the race was/is hilarious.

Thank you for this, I never got to see these videos back in the day.

There's a bunch of good On The Spots, though I don't know how patient you are with an hour-long preview of old-ass games. One memorable one is the Condemned 2 demo, at the end of which the guy previewing it (one of the devs?) smashes a guy's head in a printing press-esque contraption. It's bloody.

PS They once showed a trailer for The Force Unleashed 1. It had a cool song overlaid. I've looked it up, tried to find an artist, but it's impossible. Anyone know who performed the song?
