Wonderful Wikis 

Hallelujah and Great Scott! Big games are actually coming out now! Borderlands 2 is captivating the Giant Bomb community and this can be clearly seen on the wiki page for the game which breaks almost everything in the game. Also let us not all forget that Giant Bomb is pro-Claptrap. But Borderlands is not the only big came out this week, no let's not forget about Torchlight 2 and the attention to detail that the community has put on the Torchlight II wiki page. Finally with the HD version of Jet Grind Radio finally out give the wiki page for the original game a look to see why people care so much about the game.

Giant Bomb user Jan doesn't just impress you this week with his 3D modelling skills with his Arwing fan model, but also from his amazing Plants vs. Zombies Gangnam Style mashup video, which is now approved of by Popcap. User nintendoeats shares a bunch of educational TobbRobb discusses why he thinks that Dark Souls's notoriety of being a punishingly difficult game is misplaced, while on the flip side user TwoLines supports his thesis on Dark Souls being the best modern Castlevania game yet. Video_Game_King continues his always entertaining blog series on the difficulty of "originality" in the video game industry, as well as a blog chronicling hi adventures in Dwarf Fortress. Mento starts up a new "Brief Jaunt Through," this one being on Might and Magic VII as well as publishing a fun MS Paint comic of the events and skits seen on the BLLSL 3.Another user who has started up a great blog series is Ajayraz who is writing up a retrospective blog series on the Dead or Alive franchise as the release of DOA 5 approaches. DuskVamp keep you updated on her heartwarming adventures with Wrighteous86 in Chicago. User wumbo3000 explains why all of the hype related to Saints Row: The Third caused him to be slightly disappointed after playing the game recently. BraveToaster shares his thoughts on the most recent CGI Resident Evil movie and ZanzibarBreeze shares his six and a half hour audio file of the best Bombcast moments from 2010. MajorMitch gives you his weekly gaming update and this one explains his disappointment with The Last Story and re-examination of the first The Legend of Zelda game. Metal_Gear_Sunny continues with Persona 4, BlazeHedgehog details his first impressions of Black Mesa, and finally benjaebe compares and contrasts player choice in The Walking Dead with Mass Effect. 

Fantastic Forums 

And the awesomeness of the the creative side of Giant Bomb continues with brandonleedy's AMAZING banner and wall paper inspired by what he hopes will be Ryan and Patrick's Jurassic Park video series, "Jurassic Lark." Fattony1200 has gone back to his archives of the Giant Bomb TNTs and is now "animating" them for your enjoyment. Finally if you have encountered any cool or "badass' guns in Borderlands 2 post your stats or pictures of your gun on the official "Badass Gun Club."

On that note I'll say that I'm surprised that there aren't any user reviews for Borderlands 2.

Awesome job, everyone! Banner looks so cool. Persona community should represent since you guys are beasts in the GB community.

Speaking of representing, chat over at Unofficial GiantBomb Fire Emblem Fan Club where AsperGamer and his crew are rallying fans, new and old, to reignite some passion in Fire Emblem if you're interested in Fire Emblem. Check out the wiki pages. They're done by dedicated wiki editors like Hailinel and Chalphy.

That's all my blogs are, but they show up here every week. Also, Revelations isn't old.

I would love to showcase retro user reviews. Keep me posted on any reviews you or someone else posts on the site.
