Ladies and Gentlemen bring you attention to me as today is a day that will go down in history. This morning the bomb dropped, and is in full force. I will no longer contribute to Gamespot for the most part. You can find me on Giantbomb as EpicSteve.

The site is currently buggy, and is pretty damn slow. Their database doesn't contain most of the games I've written reviews on, so I can't transfer them

Oh well...

It's been real Gamespot

If you've visited Giantbomb in the past 12 hours then you've seen that either the site is broken or it straight up wont load. I'm not sure if the site would launch on a Sunday, so will tomorrow be the day? Gerstmann has spoken about a beta, but also claims the site will launch right after E3 but neither has happened. So there is some confusion on how long the beta will last, if the beta had been done away with, and so on. Either way it seems this bomb will blow up in the next few days and I'm totally pumped. When the site is in full force how many people in the Gamespot community will migrate over since many of you have been vocal on Gamespot's lack of editors that have a review that means something. I'm really not a fan of Gamespot's community interface, and I'm up for some change.

In the relm of my new DS, I'm sorta starting to understand Animal Crossing

Steven

So I finally got my DS, wasn't aware Final Fantasy IV wasn't out yet, so I got Animal Crossing. I'll rent Mario Kart later because a Mario Kart game can't hold my attention for to long, but short preview of my Animal Crossing review, "eh". Anything else non-Pokemon related you all can suggest?

Tomorrow I'll post a blog about my trip to VideoGamesLive. After four months of anticipation, my girlfriend and I drove from Cincinnati to Louisville Kentucky to see VideoGames Live. If you aren't clear what this is, VideoGames Live is a live concert orchestra performance playing scores from games such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear, Warcraft, Halo, and so on. Anyone who's watched old-school G4 (before it bombed, don't argue with me, it did) Judgment Day host/videogame composer Tommy Tallarico (music, Advent Rising, Unreal, Twisted Metal, Tony Hawk, Earthword Jim) is the director of the show, along with Jack Wall (Mass Effect music, Jade Empire) who conducts the orchestra .So for the first time ever, I'll review an event. Which should be a fun writing assignment.

I'd like to write something clever and witty, but I have little to say about Sony. They didn't give me one reason as a consumer to purchase either their handheld or their console. Resistance 2, great. Got anything else besides God of War 3? Sony is getting more robust video support, but they spent to much time talking about something Xbox has had for over a year.

MAG (Massive Action Game is the real title I guess), if its not canceled its a going to be a long time before we see it on the shelves at Gamestop. Honestly, we know thats not really a game right now. I also have little faith the DC MMO will follow through. I'd really like to write a nice long blog about Sony, but they don't even give me enough topics to write about to exceed 100 words. No one wowed me this year, but I have to tip my hat to Microsoft for not putting me to sleep and snagging FFXIII.

Thankyou Microsoft! You saved me $500.00

I'm buying a DS, suggestions for games?

Nintendo's all about smiling

All I have to say about Nintendo's press conference, no surprises. I was shocked at the lack of new titles for the DS. Pokemon Ranger, Guitar Hero "Decades". Great. We all saw it coming, but I'm excited to try out Animal Crossing. Oh, did you hear that Soccer Mom/Vice President of Marketing hurt her wrist snowboarding?

All we get for the Wii is Wii Sports 2, some Star Wars game (could be cool), and another Rayman. Woot? I don't even know what my opinion on Wii Music is yet. I'm sorry Nintendo, the lack of harddrive, hardcore games, and specific plans for WiiWare not present, you failed to put a smile on my face. Nintendo's press event felt more like what wasn't there, rather than what was there.
