sooo.... Jeff Gerstmann was fired from Gamespot (CBS management) because they said he (Jeff) couldn't be trusted after he gave a poor score to a review....

now they go work for them again?

this wont end well.

It was CNET management at that time. CBS Interactive purchased CNET Networks in 2008 and if you have seen the video, Jeff mentions that if there was a problem with Gamespot you wouldn't have seen him On The Spot and this deal would have never happened. GS is not the devil as some people here are making it sound like.

Personally, I am glad that this is happening, not only it's good for the future of Giant Bomb but it's also good to see them put the past behind them and start with a clean slate.

Certainly looking forward the future of things.

As a guy who lives outside of the UK, GAME, for me, is probably the only source that I can rely on to order my games overseas.

The service was great and seeing it vanish like this is really sad.

Regardless if that picture is Photoshop or not, logically speaking, GTA on the Vita is bound to happen sooner or later. It's only a matter of what setting and when it's going to get released.

Awesome shots. Somewhat creative too.

Here's hoping for a brilliant title from the minds at Double Fine, I am sure if they allocate that money well enough they will be able to create something that is acceptable for their fans and newcomers alike.

Already happened. Though Coke doesn't own V.

I know that the vibe for Journey has been coming from a good intent but I can't stop seeing how optimistic people are before its release. I have this feeling that it will get 9's and 5's already...

I haven't experienced any gamebreaking bugs/glitches to be honest. One funny bug that I encountered resulted in my horse dying after getting down from it. The poor thing was floating all of a sudden and then thrown 200 meters away to fall for his death.

Another annoying glitch is the sound of random objects cracking and hitting themselves inside the Inns. I can't seem to locate the source of the sound but you can hear them in the background.

@AhmadMetallic: I feel like I need some closure here. Are you now on the side of the fence that thinks BF 3 is a poor product? Are you ultimately disappointed?

I think Battlefield 3 has the best competitive multiplayer on the market. As a video game, as a product, as a competitor to other games, as a visual and aesthetical experience, 10/10. Same goes for gameplay, animation, destruction, everything. However:As a main-series Battlefield game, the map (or level) design is atrocious and a huge let down. Conquest mode was butchered, the map design is lazy and revolves around Rush mode.As a PC game, the lack of standard PC features is bad, but the game was rushed so until a few patches show DICE's intentions to create a proper PC title, no comment. Note that I did not mention single player since it's only there for show. So if you're looking for a good competitive FPS, you have nothing to complain about. If you were expecting a real Battlefield OR have PC standards, you should be let down, until at least they fix their mistakes.

I don't understand the issue here.

The game wasn't rushed by any stretch of the imagination. The project has been in development for more than two years, were the code had to be rewritten from scratch to create what you see today.

DICE set out to create a First Person Shooter with a clear intent, a competitor in a market that is filled with a couple of sloppy efforts and a main rival.

They are one of the best in this business and I don't blame them if they took a different route and tried to a adapt to a new setting. You're essentially getting a product that is being promoted as a 'threequel' but the reality is, it's just a name. The approach has been different because the mentality has changed over time and that leads to whole set of standards that are a reflection of the final product.

Even though I haven't played the game yet and the beta by no means was a good judge, Battlefield 3 manages to capture the spirit of this franchise in a sense were progress and changes were needed to ensure a different but at the same time an authentic military shooter experience.

Your situation reminded me of an episode of 'How I Met Your Mother'.
 
All I can say is, good luck with anything in the future, I'm sure things will work out for the better :). Stay positive.
