    Goodbye
    Well, it was fun while it lasted. But now, I've realized that Gamespot is my home for a gaming website. Things just haven't been the same here for awhile, and while some people like this "new" Giant Bomb more than before, I sure as hell don't. I know I'm in the minority, because most that like the "old" Giant Bomb have already left, and reasonably so. Deny it if you want, but the forums are nothing compared to what they used to be, and I genuinely feel bad for those managing Giant Bomb - they left Gamespot on a mission ...

    I told you so." So no new posts in 28 minutes means the forums are dead and the website has officially just lost interest from every single registered user?

Without it, it encourages people to post in actual threads rather than spending all their time in one thread doing nothing." In in turn, drove many legit users away from its forums and created the ghost town off-topic is today. So you'd rather have a forum with a post every half an hour, rather than one with a bit of spam here and there, and many more than one non-spam posts in a half an ...

    The website is new, sorry you didn't expect replies to topics a minute or so after they are created. Ah well, at least there is less spam." Says the guy who got 3,000 of his first posts by blatant spam.

About Me

Don't listen to the blog that the mods commandeered and was made to look like I said I was perma-banned. The over-zealous mods banned me when I wrote a goodbye blog, that was not vulgar or bad in any way whatsoever.


Thanks for reinforcing my opinion that you guys are out to censor the users of Giant Bomb.

A decent follow-up to Need For Speed: Most Wanted.


Despite a lot of negative opinions floating around about Need for Speed Carbon, I decided to pick up the game to check it out for myself. That was a decision I won't soon regret.

Onto the Gameplay. The customization is great; there is a very large number of parts and accessories to customize your car with. It seems to be second only to Midnight Club: Dub Edition in this aspect. I was also very pleased to see more cars in Carbon than in Most Wanted. Many people disliked the cut scenes in Carbon for being too "corny," but I felt the opposite. They seemed to get me more into the game, and make me want to beat my rival racer, Darius, even more. They also kept me playing the game to see how the story would pan out in the end. Overall, it was nice to play a racing game that had a story line of some kind. Next, I liked what EA did with the new "crew mechanics." During almost every race in Need For Speed Carbon, you will have a crew member that will race with you and either set blocks, show you short-cuts, or let you draft off of them. This idea was pulled very well into the storyline, and I liked having some help during the races; whether setting a block so I could cruise into first before the finish line, or drafting to get enough speed in a "speed trap race." The sound in the game was as expected, and the soundtrack, though not as spectacular as Most Wanted, still lived up to expectations.

Need for Speed Carbon isn't a perfect game, however. To put it plain and simple: the police chases were worthless, and not as well integrated as in Need For Speed: Most Wanted. In Carbon, it seems like you work hard to evade the cops and in turn rack up a lot of "bounty," but your bounty is worthless and doesn’t help you in any shape, way, or form in "career mode." As in Most Wanted, the random pink slip marker got on my nerves. I always hate working my butt off to beat a boss, and have to start over because I didn’t pick the pink slip marker that weilds the rivals car. The tier system also felt somewhat broken. In Carbon, cars were seperated into three tiers based on their stats, and I found it hard to transition between the three. For instance, sometimes in the game you would have a tier two car and race tier three cars, which made it hard at points in the game to get enough money to purchase a solid tier three car. But despite its downfalls, Need For Speed Carbon is still a decent follow-up to Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and a must-buy for fans of the series.

Call of Duty 3 is a good game, but not the expected knockout.


As I went through playing Call of Duty 3, I kept getting the feeling I had been there, done that.

Don't get me wrong; Call of Duty 3 is a good game, with good graphics, and a fun multiplayer. It's just that this game is almost too much like the "generic World War 2 shooter," and Call of Duty 2, for that matter: you go into the mind of a supposed unknown soldier and fight in his or her body throughout many military battles. You travel to a battle, fight, and win. When all else fails, at least you get the chance to drive motorcycles and jeeps in Call of Duty 3.

Multiplayer in Call of Duty 3 got me hooked, and for good reason. The addition of jeeps and motorcycles in multiplayer was a great decision by Activision. There is nothing better than running around in jeeps with your buds. I also liked the fact that you can choose your weapon and abilities before each respawn. You can be a medic, heavy gunner, light gunner, and many more. You can strategically change your weapon and abilities contrary to current gameplay. For instance, if your opponent has a tank, you can become a character that wields a bazooka. Game modes are also plentiful, and kept me interested.

Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that COD 3 is a good game, but differs little from other WWII games and Call of Duty 2, other than the Xbox Live aspect, of course. Call of Duty 3 is an ideal game for Xbox Live players or people that like multiplayer shooters.

Call of Duty 3 is a lone grenade in the world of shooters, not an atomic bomb, as I expected.

F.E.A.R. is the epitome of the FPS/Horror genre.


F.E.A.R. is both a great first person shooter and horror game that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire game, whether young or old.

Overall, FEAR's gameplay is great, but not perfect. The game is extremely immersive, and not to mention, just outright scary, which is why many like this game, myself included. The game atmospheres and settings are creepy, ranging from an old warehouse to an abandoned hotel, and the whole story takes place at night. Chilling music also sets the tone for the game, and antagonist voices are blood curling. The thing that makes this game the most horrifying, however, is appearances of "ghost-like" enemies when you least expect it. On the contrary, the game is very long for a first person shooter, so there is no shortage whatsoever of gameplay.

The gameplay, as I mentioned, is not perfect. Sometimes the game can be quite repetitive. There are many times when you need to backtrack through previously beaten levels, and with that, the number of settings you are in throughout the game is limited. Enemies, for the most part, are also very limited, and you will find yourself battling the same old "replica soldiers" virtually the whole game. Many will be saddened to hear that F.E.A.R. has no single player co-op. The last quirk with the gameplay is that the story can be confusing at times, and I had to consult Gamespot for help understanding what was going on.

In conclusion, F.E.A.R. is the best game you'll find out there for thirty dollars, so pop F.E.A.R. into your Xbox 360 and brace yourself for some great FPS/Horror action!
