I can try and do a LeetBalla™ Alex Navarro camparison for you. Ahem His face reminds me of a turd I once had. Sort of like yours Rink. How was that?" @JJWeatherman said:
You're so lucky =( I wish someone would compare ME to Alex Navarro... "" @LeetBalla said:
" @JJWeatherman said:Did I just get compared to Alex Navarro? Thanks dude! "" @LeetBalla said:He should just go back to making shitty music games. I couldn't stand him at gamespot and I don't want to hear him on Giantbomb. He reminds of this little kid I once knew who would always say these absurd, stupid things, and genuinely think people cared or thought he was being "cool" /funny. Sort of like you JJ. "" Fuck Alex Navarro. I cant stand that prick. "Apparently you're not "LeetBalla" enough. It's OK, You'll get there eventually. "
Alex Navarro Reviewed two games for GB so far
" Movies are dialing down and games are dialing up. It makes plenty of sense for Alex to help out GB this time of year. He doesn't need to see the 5 new National Lampoon Christmas Vacation ripoffs coming out in a month. "Plus Screened is flat last when it comes to traffic generated. It isn't their fault, they are new and Movie Sites is a very very competitive arena. Makes sense to have Alex pick up some of the slack at this time of year. I would expect to see more reviews from him as the holiday crush bites. It is unlikely any big tech announcement will hit this year either so maybe Will could do some PC reviews? Biggest strength of WM seems to be having a small staff and make the best out of them. For the number of employees the amount of content they generate is impressive.
" He's going to be a good replacement for Brad. "If that happened, I'd leave the site.
" He's going to be a good replacement for Brad. "Unfortunately a Handsome Dead Troll is still a troll.

Maybe he's to busy making crazy shit on the TNT and friday whiskey videos!!!
" @Abyssfull said:He has gone from just him and Drew to a staff of 4 plus two live shows a week. I imagine writing takes a lot longer for him too than it would someone who does it for a job." @peligroy2k said:Maybe he's to busy making crazy shit on the TNT and friday whiskey videos!!!

Your right!!!
" @TheGreatGuero said:" Someone should make a concept page for this. "Games reviewed by Alex Navarro" or "Games reviewed by non-staff members" or something. I'm only slightly serious. "It shouldn't be a concept. Concepts should be about things in games themselves, not about Giant Bomb and reviewers. It would make a good list, though. That being said, I'm pretty sure I know all the games reviewed by people other than Ryan, Vinny, Jeff & Brad, so I might throw a list together myself. "
List is shorter..by far, than I thought. And that is good, really... As for reviews done by others, especially old gamespot ppl.... well I like Alex myself, and do not mind the occasionally review. I like Dave's reviews. That said, I would like to have video game reviewing done almost exclusively by the Giant bomb staff. And of course, the other sites likewise for their specializations. Like, where is Vinny lately? The guy is a class act, but I hardly read a review from him. He talks about playing games on the bombast, and that is it. Too busy wearing other hats for whiskey? As for other things like quick looks, I suspect it is a whiskey media approach perhaps that the assorted personalities participate. that is fine and more than fine. I've come to really appreciate will, Annie and Norm, Sarah and Ted, and others(Dave!) who pop in and out on the different sites. I really do believe that is the way to go. But reviews?....no.
" @Vodun said:And that is why I said it's a great thing they're small. Never said it was remarkable, just that we should appreciate it. Because if they ever get big it'll most likely go away." @Detrian: Dude, if you've ever worked in the offices of a large company...you'd know this is a rare thing. The only reason this happens is because Whiskey media is such a small, tight group. Love it and realize it's special! (It shouldn't be, but it is) "Feel like you just proved his point. Because they work in a small office, it isn't that remarkable. Also, the fact that they have a small number of employees isn't that remarkable either. I do like that they're more able to do site crossovers since they all work in the same giant room, things like the Happy Hour. "
Dude that's how Alex rolls. LeetBalla should only be so lucky to get manhandled by such a bad dude." @LeetBalla: Did he make your ass sore and didn't call the next day or what? Sheesh, such hostility. "
Plus Alex has reviewed tons of games in the past before his stint at Harmonix, so I would imagine he knows what he's doing.
" @MattyFTM: I was hoping that you'd create a new title for Dave every time you listed him. That would have made it perfect. But now it's not. Four stars. "I did think about doing that, but ultimately decided that it would take too much time and effort. Maybe I'll edit it in the future.

"Reviews are generally handled by the main dudes, and I'm sure they'll only go to one of the other staff members if they don't have the time/resources to review a game, or they have no interest in the game. If it's a choice between having a review from one of the other whiskey staff members, or no review at all, I'll go for the former option every time. As for Vinny, he was never really one of the editorial team in the same way as Ryan, Jeff & Brad are. He was always the video guy, but in the early days of the site there wasn't huge amounts of video content, so he could write reviews and things. As the site has evolved, it has become far more focused on video content, and thus Vinny needs to spend his time focusing on the video content.

Yeah I hope we get a truck simulation game out soon that he could review? Big Rigs 2 - the revenge of the trucks anybody?
" @President_Barackbar said:Yeah, if you listen in the background during the water slide part at the beginning you can hear him talking to someone about the game." I heard him in the latest Lemon Lens talking in very review-like terms about Castlevania: LoS as well... "The minecraft one? I don't remember hearing him in that one. "
