Giant Bomb Video Game News

Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS

Added by Dave Snider on Nov. 14, 2008

Another big week for games as we saw the boards aflutter over a review week that saw the PS3 trying to take down the 360's Gears 2 swagger. Apparently there's some gaming to be done and despite a nasty trivia habit, you had some time to add some reviews of your own. On the news front we had a good chuckle at the ESRB's expense, learned some hard facts about load times on the upcoming New Xbox Experience, and learned the tricks of the trade behind sounding like Daft Punk whilst lounging in World of War lobbies. Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

thanks for adding this, i would never have seen the 'stars within stars' forum and would not have spent the last 5 minutes laughing at the crudity of uncensored and partially censored star nakedness!!  glorious.

This is why I love giant bomb, on most other sites that stars within stars post would have been completely dismissed as spam, but you guys see the humour and entertainment and embrace it and add it to the friday bomb drop.
