After hearing that the formber GS crew had created their own video game website, I couldn't resist checking it out. After checking it out, I didn't want to leave it...soooooo for anyone interested, you can find me here:

Feel free to add me. Looking forward to seeing more familiar faces

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but I haven't gotten my Sony and Nintendo press conference emblems. I watched both shows live and still got nothing

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I just finished watching the Sony Press conference...and let me tell you one thing...it was wayyyyy better than Nintendo's. To keep it short and sweet, the Nintendo press conference was total garbage! I mean...Wii Music...are you kidding me?! The way you stand there and pretend play just looks stupid and it didn't even seem like the people on stage were actually playing. Hardly any new games were announced for Nintendo and therefore I'm def not buying a Wii anytime soon. Way to go Nintendo! I was actually looking forward to what you had coming up this year.

The Sony Press conference wasn't spectacular, yet it was 100 times better in my opinion than Nintendo's. Resistance 2 looks pretty sweet and the trailer for God of War 3 looked awesome! As both a PSP and PS3 owner I'm looking forward to Sony's upcoming game lineup. The final game they demonstrated was MAG which essentially is a huge ope multiplayer shooter game with up to 260 players at once....that's just awesome! In addition, being able to download and transfer movies from your PS3 to PSP is great, I'll def be doing that at some point.

Finally, Microsoft's press conference yesterday was on par with Sony's in my opinion. Not too much was new except for the announcement of FFXIII coming to Xbox360. As a hardcore Final Fantasy player I was a bit upset with the franchise moving away from being a PlayStation exclusive. However, it doesn't bother me because I'll still buy it on the PS3 instead of the 360.

That's just a quick update of my impressions of E3 so far. I'm looking forward to watching the live press coverage on GameSpot.

Once thing has me confused however...I've watched all 3 press conferences Live and I still don't have my emblems for them yet...anyone else having that problem?

That's it for now, more impressions to come later in the week.

What are your impressions so far?

Today's final of Wimbledon 2008 will go down in history for many reasons. Not only is it one of the biggest upsets in wimbledon history, but it was the longest game recorded for the tournament!

As a huge tennis fan I was glued to my TV all day watching the amazing skills of both players

When it finally came down to it I was really, really happy to see Nadal win!

well those are just a few short quick thoughts on that haha

cant wait to see what next year brings

When I woke up this morning and checked out gamespot, i was pleasantly suprised to see something. I knew it was only going to be a matter of time, but its finally been announced at the Blizzard Paris event...Diablo III.

I haven't really gotten into Diablo much in the past, but after watching the 20 min walkthrough clip on gamespot, I can not wait to get my hands on this game! The graphics look incredible, and the music I think sounds even better. One of the really cool aspects that I liked in addition was the destructible enviroments the game offers. The ability to play with your friends online and to spread the divide the gameplay depending on classes is also a really cool idea.

While the release date is still TBA, one thing is for sure. I'm going to get my hands on the previous games and catch up on what I know I've been missing!

If anyone is a big Diablo fan I'd love to hear your opinions on the games

For a lot of us, the Metal Gear craze has started since the release of MGS 4. Consequently, I've been trying to get my hands on MGS Portable Ops for the PSP. The game, which got a score of 9.0 here on Gamespot was released late 2006.

However, I've run into a problem. I can't find it anywhere! I've looked at BestBuy, Gamestop and all over the Internet and I just can't seem to find a copy of it anywhere for a reasonable price. Therefore I ask for some help from the Gamespot community. Does anyone know a good place to look? Or has anyone seen one for sale anywhere?

Thanks and much appreciated!

It's been a long time since I've made any type of written post here on GameSpot. However, while looking around the community I've noticed several people discussing their WTF moments in gaming...so i figure "hey why not?" I must be very unlucky when it comes to games sometimes because I'm always going WTF when I play online.

Call of Duty 4 has got to be my favorite online game of all time. It's got so many great things about it...but sometimes when I play online I can't seem to think WTF when I get killed. I'm sure this is happened to a lot of you guys but I'll share exatly what I mean.

You guys know that map that takes place on the tanker ship at night (forgot the actual map name)? Well I have a bad habbit of getting killed as soon as a spawn on either side of those cargo containers. What seems to happen is that I'll spawn...and at the same time some guy on the other team will throw some random ass grenade across the map without even knowing who he is throwing it at, and as soon as I spawn, that one grenade seems to just land and explode right where I start and I die again. I've had it happen in a few games where I'll die, spawn, die from a random grenade, spawn, then die AGAIN from a random grenade. I love COD 4 but COMON! WTF is up with that kind of stuff?

Not to get me wrong, I'll admit that I've thrown random grenades at one time or another and gotten a lucky kill and think "Kick Ass" but sometimes...its just like WTF! haha

so yeah, thats my WTF gaming moment, has that ever happened to anyone else?

this has gotta be the greatest song to ever come out of Germany

So after a long day of studying for upcoming exams I decided I needed a break and go on to play some Call of Duty 4. Execpt....XBOX LIVE wasn't working!!! AHHHHH what is wrong with the world!!

Is LIVE not working for anyone else???

I have just finished probably the best game I've played in a long, long time. For those of you who can guess, it's Call of Duty 4. I honestly have to say that this is the best FPS I've ever played, and thats coming from a big Halo fan! Not only are the graphics probably the best I've seen on a par with Bioshock, but the story line is very solid and believeable. What I think sets it apart however is the gameplay. I don't want to spoil anything for any of you who haven't finished the game yet, but the variety of what you can do is incredible.

I wanted to keep this one sort but for any of you out there who are on the boarder about getting this game...all I have to say is GET IT! You won't regret it!

10-4 out

PS. Make sure you watch the credits till the end. You won't regret it

1 more day! wooooweeeee!!!!!

Haha, it tastes good though

anyone else tried it?

Sweeeeeeet

As a big soccer fan I'm trying to decide on which game is better to buy for my next purchase. Either Winning Eleven or Fifa '07 for the Xbox 360? I've done research on both games and both have very different styles of play. Therefore I'm asking if anyone out there has either one of these two games, please to let me know you're impressions of the game and if its worth buying or not?

Cheers

Finish the Fight!

I just picked up this game last night and so far, all I can say about this game is wow! I've never seen a racing game like this before. Not only are the graphics in this game amazing, but the physics are incredible. It honestly looks like you're looking at the cars in real life. Another great feature is the customization thats possible. Since I've only had the game for a short time I know i'm only skinning the surface of whats possible in this game, but already just looking around at the possiblities in terms of upgrades and customization is amazing! At the end of each racing cycle you are awarded a new car you're given credits which can be used to buy upgrades or new cars. I can't wait to buy myself a Saleen!

So anyway, if anyone wants to get a few races in (i'm sure i'll get my ass handed to me) just add me on live or send me a msg.

Cheers

As many Halo fans out there know, there is much more to the Halo universe than just the two xbox games. I recently just finished reading Halo: Ghosts of Onyx by Eric Nylaund, and I must say, it was GREAT! Now most of the time when you hear about books being based off of video games, the initial reaction is "oh its going to ruin the story". Not in this case. Nylund goes into great depth in bringing out the myths and plotlines of the Halo story. As the fourth book in the installment, Ghosts of Onyx takes places between the end of Halo 2 and just before the beginning of Halo 3. On a interesting note, the book itself doesnt focus on the Master Chief, but rather, the ultrasecret "Section Three", the group resonsible for the Spartan II program. The book tells the story of the upbringing of a new type of Spartan, different from the one we are so familiar with the Master Chief.

After reading this great book I've become even a greater Halo fan and I just can't wait for Halo 3 to hit the stores in September! I'm sure I'll be outside my Gamespot in Dallas at the midnight release

Anyway, if anyone out there wants to get some slayer games in or any other xbox 360 games in (just beat GoW last night) give me a shout either here or on xbox live. my gamertag is ISmoochyI. Hit me up!

Cheers!
