In an effort to keep myself busy, I've been spending some time building a Giantbomb extension for Chrome. It's currently in an early state, but it lets you pages through reviews. I'm currently working on search functionality from within the extension, and also trying to figure out how to pull the News in an efficient way. Anyway, you can check it out here:

Feedback would be appreciated. Let me know if there's anything you guys can think of that might be cool to stuff in there. Thanks!
*Edit* - Version 1.3 now available
Features:
- News Feed now working
- Videos now working
- Full search support
- Section browsing, allows you to view the newest entries in each section
*Edit* - Version 1.2 now available - with search support.
Version 1.3 will include pulling newest entries for each section.
Giantbomb Google Chrome Extension
I like the idea, will check it out now.
My feedback: The links along the top of the extension need to open the 5 most recent entries of each category inside the extension, this way it will be much more streamlined and useful. Also once you get that working a good feature would be to add an option to chose what page you want it to default to when opening. Oh and add a video tab too :)
Good work so far though.

"Pretty much this in a nutshell.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I took it all and created version 1.3. Its ready to go at the above link.
Sounds good. Unfortunately, I use Firefox, and I don't plan on getting Google Chrome. Make one for Firefox?
So what is this? Can someone post screenshots? I don't have Chrome, but if this is cool enough, this might be something to make me legitimately switch over, at least for Giant Bomb usage.
