What would you rate Giant Bomb in a 1-10 score?

A five star system would be more appropriate.

9.

Really putting Over 9000 in this poll was a bad idea. lol

I picked over 9000...

I love it, but it usually leaves me wanting more (which isn't really a bad thing).
 
...Actually, Giantbomb is kinda similar to my girlfriend in that regard.

Over 9,000! That's better than 100 percent!

Its an 8. 
 
Its a great site but it needs improvement. They lack coverage on sports games, the podcast could use a new formula to keep things fresh and they should play their best card more often, and that card is the video content. Even crazy stuff like the famous too Human video.

If you wanted people to take it serious, dont put the over 9000.

I subtract 2 points from anything that does not include Greg Kasavin. 

Eleventy-hundred

I don't know how to rate this site. People get frustrated for lack of coverage and infrequent updates, but you have to remember that their goal was never to compete with IGN or GameSpot. They're doing they're own thing, and I think it's great fun.

Over 9,000.

The bugs and inconsistency of content keep Giantbomb from being perfect.  Nevertheless, this is still my favorite website.

Giant Bomb is great. I'm giving it a 9/10. My only gripe with the site is the smaller amount of content when compared to its big name competitors. Of course they have a legitimate excuse for this by only having 3 dedicated writers on staff. Of course that's only when I take the question seriously and only chumps take these things seriously (cause that just leads to flame wars) so I decree that the only correct answer is A for Giant Bomb shall rule the world!

9/10 - Needs more enduring.

I wouldn't.

5 Stars.

5 out of 5. I like the more real feeling it has over them big corporate run sites. The bombcast is so much better then the other sites podcasts and the video content is a lot more enjoyable and fun to watch.  I mean heck this site makes me actually wanna watch video content to stuff I have no interest in just because I know it will be entertaining.

Staff content and how it's produced, 5 out of 5 
Wiki aspect and business model, 4.5 out of 5 
Forums, Fluctuated 4 out of 5, depends on who is on and how many trolling users are, 
 
Myself a perfect 10 :) 
 
Big ego? 
Not in your life.

In terms of total entertainment, Giant Bomb deserves a 10/10. In terms of coverage, they're at about a 6. However, I come to this website for entertainment, and I go to IGN for most of my gaming news. If I see the same news story posted on this website, I'll still read it because I feel as if I want to know how either Dave, Brad, Jeff, Ryan, Drew, or Vinny feel about the news. GB has more of a human side to it than any other gaming site on the web, and it's also BY FAR the funniest. Which is precisely why I spend the most time here, and not anywhere else.

" @MAN_FLANNEL:  Hey man this site is just a year and half old and it doesn't have the sizable staff other major web sites have. For a young web site with only 22 people as it's staff and only 6 of them are doing reviews (mostly 3 though) and news, features, interviews, going to events, etc. I think they are doing a really good job. I think your 8 was a bit harsh. No need to be like EDGE or Eurogamer, right?! "

I picked 10, because it is what I expect a review site to be, with a little extra crazy for good measure. I do not expect no bias, every single game reviewed, or content every couple of hours. No site is perfect, but this one's closest so far.

The site is great and in fact, it's currently my homepage. 7/10. I believe the stuff it lacks are: A PS3 Trophy sync (apparently Sony cut support) though it doesn't hurt to contact ps3trophycard.com to setup some sort of agreement so users can see their PS3 trophy card inside the achievements tab, alongside WoW and 360 achievements/crap. More communicative Giantbomb staff, especially Jeff. Offer more coverage on the latest games through flashes instead of blogs. I love the flashes they have in the front page but it's not extensive enough/not as good as Gamespot's front page flashes. Screw Gamespot anyways. Lastly, remove/change that depressing theme song that plays at the beginning OF EVERY FUCKING VIDEO.

Over 9000, of course.

Do you really need more opinions on sports games than there already are? Maybe the podcast could be shook up a little but I wouldn't like to see them get rid of any of their current segments. Too much crazy video content would make the hilarity lose some of its power I think. "

" A five star system would be more appropriate. "

Well it's the only online source I use for video game reviews and updates, so 10. 
 
Over 9,000 is quite tempting though.

7. Content is good but few and far between. Basically the only site content I use per week is bombcast and maybe one quicklook. Even the bombcast needs a bit of work. But it's pretty good for ~5 guys.

Community is biased towards X console, or people just say "Troll" when it's something they have mild disagreement with.

I'd give it an 8/10. It's missing a few features I'd like to see, such as game cataloging and those drag-and-droppable modules shown off here that never surfaced. I also think the wiki feature needs some fleshing out. Mainly more categories for things (for example, races and species) instead of just having everything lumped into the concepts category. As for what I love about the site, I'd have to say the personalities of the staff, the Bombcast, and all the video content they do--especially quick looks. The site isn't perfect, but for their size they do a pretty good job.

" 21/20  Although my vote went to 9/10 "

9 Gatillion!

Silly and childish topic

Some more content would be nice and they could also touch on some more specific genres. I like to play Fifa and this is a game they have never talked about what so ever. I know it mightened be what they like but it would be good to hear about football games (soccer) as i feel that they make their content for their american users. Quick looks are awesome but they are few and far between ( that i would like to see ) Example of this, they gave Darkest Of Days a QL to show off how bad it was. Why not give that QL to show a game that was good and deserved some attention. Office videos have cooled off a lot. They used to post new ones regulary but there have not been any lately.   I also dont like the new design, it looks to generic, the previous design was a lot better and looked different to other games sites that are out there. They are also very heavy on the Xbox. Very few mentions of the PS3, plenty of QL from Xbl Arcade but very few for PSN
 
Finally, get Dave on the bombcast more. As he is a designer of the site i think he deserves a weekly slot
 
Before anyone tries to go off on one on me, this is my opinion and this is what this thread is about

My favorite video game site.

Only five-star scores here, heathen.

" 7  Community is biased towards X console, or people just say "Troll" when it's something they have mild disagreement with. "

This place is filled with ex-GameSpot users who bitch about GameSpot non-stop at times, and most new users' first post is about how shitty GameSpot is.  Let me tell you guys something (GS haters), it's not all bad.  Just because you're butt-hurt over Casey more than likely banning you in System Wars doesn't mean you need to bitch and cry about it non-stop. 
 
The regulars are alright and crazy to say it, a good chunk of them have become real life friends.  Mods here are alright, and the staff (while shorted), do just fine with the limited numbers.  Quick Looks and Endurance Runs keep me back for more, but their reviews aren't all that great in numbers.  More than likely due to the short-staffed.  :( 
 
MB, Hamz, CitizenKane, Krush, Matty, and all the other mods are very good compared to other sites.   
 
Imma give Giant Bomb a solid 8, it's not perfect but it's alright.  

" Hi.  If you ever, ever say over 9000 trying to be funny- I hate you. Just thought I would make that clear. "

I give them a 5 stars. It is a great site with a great community.
