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

I just ate some really sour candy.
So what, exactly, is Giant Bomb? That's a good question. it's a lot of things.
- It's a place that will contain the same style of game-related editorial that you've seen on our pre-launch blog. We still have our weekly podcast, game reviews, previews, and commentary on the gaming world around us. We will still bring our opinions to each and every aspect of gaming without fear. We will focus our coverage on the games that you care about, allowing us to go in-depth on the games that matter.
- It's also ready to become a pretty big gaming community. We, naturally, have a healthy forum section that will let you chat it up with other like-minded individuals. In addition to the standard discussion forums, every single page in the database has a forum at the bottom. Want to post specifically about Gears of War 2? Or Astrosmash? We've got your back.
- One difference you may notice from the way other game sites handle their business is that we put the games first, not the platforms. We're pretty tired of all the platform comparisons that end up saying "dude, I don't know, they both look pretty much the same." We have ONE home page for Grand Theft Auto IV where players can come together, regardless of platform of choice, and talk about the game.
- Then, of course, there's the database. We're stacked full of pages for games, platforms, franchises, characters, concepts, objects, locations, accessories, and the people that actually make games themselves.
All of these pages can be attached to one another. So if there's an object (like a hamburger) that shows up in a game (like River City Ransom), you'll be able to see that link. The end result is a page that shows you every game with a hamburger in it.
Truly the future is now.
I've pieced together a brief tutorial video on how to use the site's various features. Take a look!
I don't really know why there's a picture of Method Man here. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
We're pretty happy with where we're at so far, and we're already forming plans for the future. So please, poke around the site and see what you think.
Thanks,
Jeff Gerstmann
