So I was a sometimes active user on GameSpot. Although I was never a big fan of the site itself, I always enjoyed the community.
Ever since Giant Bomb launched, it has basically replaced GameSpot, but in a way Giant Bomb still feels similar to GameSpot. Don't get me wrong, when I say Giant Bomb reminds me of GameSpot, I mean it feels like GameSpot, but it feels like what GameSpot should have been in the first place. A much more community based site, that is not full of industry crap.
As soon as I got that feeling, GameSpot decided to do a site rehaul. And guess what? The new site design is very, and I mean
very similar to Giant Bomb. Here is what I recommend GameSpot does.
Fire everyone that write's for them. I dislike all the writers, they have no character.
Less ad's, please. It's pathetic how many ad's they run. Don't like the ad's? Give them money for a gold membership. Don't get me wrong, I understand ad's are what brings in the money, and over time Giant Bomb is probably gonna start running ad's, but GameSpot is basically an ad running agency.
Thats all for the first post. All I can really say is please check out the site I write for,
The Gamers Cafe. I'm the Editor-In-Chief for the Nintendo team. We write about all consoles, and soon we are gonna start up our podcast's. Thanks for reading.
