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.
The Community is STILL a Threat to our Job Security
- Electrixx witnesses the death of Jeff.
- A bunch of people convince us to change our rating system to include stars within stars.
- BigManForHire exchanged his lower jaw for a collector's edition of Wrath of the Lich King.
- Joseppie blogs about that other Horde with some impressions on Gears 2.
- Lies blogged about the Giant Bomb store a full 24 hours before it was official. The punk.
- PapaLazarou is tired of Call of Duty's latest offering. Peep his 3-star review.
- Classic review of the week goes to WiFi Pirate for his Super Metroid comments.
- TeamHOLT put up a skills guide for Fallout 3. Steve Holt reference?
- Hamz wins the epic blog of the week award for his perspective on being a mod on Giant Bomb since launch.
- Everyone's favorite sheriff, MB, shows up on this week's Bomb Should Have a Face.
- Alpha1 wants to see the Shaggin' Waggin' included in the next Burnout DLC.
- Developer Coonce steals away a link to point out an actual user of the site by forcing me to link to Hampster on a Piano as the Off-Topic post of the week. He launched trivia this week. So it's OK... this time.

I love this community feature. Maybe I should post something and get featured. And, yeah, the first thing I thought when i saw TeamHOLT was STEVE HOLT!
How do you expect me to type a comment in this $300 Banana suit?! COME ON!
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 a nice feature snide :D
Would be nice to get this regularly as a 'best of the bomb' feature :) nice roundup !!!
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.
Please don't change the review way. I like it. It's simple, and easy to understand.
Sad to see that Blinck's X-mas Big Daddy picture didn't make it into the Bomb Drop this week. = (
Never thought my little blog would be mentioned on the Friday Bomb Drop thanks Snide
