    On my way to sync up my social club account on http://www.rockstargames.com for LA Noire, I did a double take while clicking through the Age Gate. Mr. Shoemaker's review is being linked to on their website. It's nice to see the Whiskey brand on the R* site.

    Why is the birthday there May 29 1947?
     
    OT: It's great they are being recognized more.

    They also use a quote from Yahoo Games, so they're not exactly picky.

    It was the first time I think I've seen a GB review highlighted like that.  Also, I figured 1947 would be appropriate given the game's post war time period.

    Overlooking your blatant circumventing of the completely worthless age gate Giant Bomb is getting more and more recognition from the industry. They're review of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts of Bolts appeared on the Platinum Hits version. Then you had Jeff talking on this past week's Bombcast about getting a stage at E3 next year. What a difference a few years makes.

    That is the first time that I've seen Giant Bomb getting recognised by the industry. I am glad to see it though, as the site produces some of the most honest reviews of games that I have read and watched. Being honest means more than giving a game 5/5 because of the company that made it, as they can get some honest feedback from it and so on. I do hope that Giant Bomb continues to expand in this manner, without becoming the same as every other site.

    I agree. In an industry that tends to rely on obfuscation, double talk, and trickery, it's nice to see GB and Whiskey being recognized, as I tend to trust their honesty and integrity more than most sites out there.

    Wow, actually on the game box? That's a pretty big accomplishment, never saw it as I had purchased N&B soon after it's launch due to the high praise from Brad and Jeff back in the day. To be honest, the reviews on GB don't tend to get me to purchase games, it's the weekly run down of what people have been playing on the Bombcast that sometimes seals the deal. That's part of what I love about GB. Between the Bombcast, Happy Hour, Quick Looks and Features, you get to know the personalities & likes / dislikes of each of the staff.  A numbered review probably won't help me make a decision to make a purchase, even from a site I trust. Hearing someone glow about a game they're still playing, or sharing in their frustration can.

    They've been quoted on Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Blots and I think some Atlus game.

    I believe that is one of those double pack things that came with some 360s. The other side of the case is another game.

    Who in their right mind writes it as Giantbomb?  What, do you call it the Giantbombcast as well?  Jesus Christ.

    I often write it as GiantBomb. One word, inter-capped. 
     
    Shouldn't be a surprise that Giant Bomb appears on official print when they have something nice to say about the game. The site is smaller than your IGNs or your Gamespots (though why that is, I'm not certain, given the content said sites don't provide), but it's still up there. Quality breeds a certain fanbase.

    Did Nuts & Bolts really do well enough to become a platinum hit?  The way I've heard the GB crew tell it, it's an underappreciated game that didn't do well enough to warrant a sequel from Rare.

    Not freaking out, just stating a fact. And Jeff said it should have a space. The problem was the words were too scrunched together.
