The new Blog/Website from Jeff Gerstman, Ryan Davis, Alex Navaro.
It's pretty good they have released 3 podcasts one released yesterday.
It's nice to see the old Gamespot Team get together for what could potentially be a very good website.
GIANT BOMB = Gamespot V2
Hopefully they do well for themselves after what happened at Gamespot.
Good luck guys.

Did you notice how there isn't a section tab for Wii on their main nav? I thought this was on purpose at first, but then they talk about Brawl.... I guess they will add it soon?

They've said that their system updates tabs as soon as content is made for a system, ergo, as soon as they write a Wii review the Wii tab will appear.
For me, Jeff Gerstmann pretty much was Gamespot, so I'm glad that he and Ryan Davis are doing something new together. I have nothing but high hopes.

I assume they have a whole new website design in the works. The Blog and Podcasts are just filler untill the main site goes live.
I love the new Podcast format. The one released yesterday was the best, podcast 3. They can say what they want without being scared of what they are saying.
I have heard a few swearwords but they are not going over the top with the freedom.
They do tend to talk about FLIPPING ENERGY DRINKS a LOT. Give up on that guys BORING!!
I love Video Reviews and that has come to a halt on game sites these days. Especially Gamespot which is so dead now.
"To those wondering if I’m involved in this project in any way, the answer at this time is no. I’m supporting those guys any way I can, but I’m not writing for Giant Bomb at this juncture."

Either way i've always been a fan of Jeff, hopefully they get Greg K on their podcast sometime.
Yesterday's cast was actually the fourth episode. The whole energy drink trend started in the very first one, and I for one think it's pretty hilarious.
To each his own I guess.

I agree tbh, I think for journalistic integrity in games journalism it's a good thing that there was a lot of publicity around his (probably unjust) dismissal, but I never liked gamespot in the first place.
As far as the Energy Drink talk, I thought it was hilarious. They were just hamming it up, testing their audio equipment. I doubt it was meant to be taken seriously. Good improv IMO.
I do not like the design of the site as it is now. At all. Or their logo. I look forward to the next iterations.

I liked the man.
However, I respect him for doing it and I love the "Hold to Build a Bomb" - it's so fun watching videos of things like that being built. I can't wait to see the office with some equipment in it. I'll check out the latest episode of the pod cast now, just to see if they're complete douches or cool guys.
So, you don't care about something because you never investigated it before. How's going outside working out for you? Almost made it out the door yet?

Almost.
You think so?
I'd be happy as long as the half-puking noises stop.
But, anyway, I'm really looking forward to their official launch. I've really liked Gerstmann, and his review of Zelda was the only one I actually agreed with. So, yeah. Should be cool.
it's better than Xbox 360 fanboy's podcast where the first 20 minutes is them talking about how either they haven't had time to play any games in the past week, or how they're achievement farming halo 3...

I think it's the worst logo I've ever seen.
Really? Either you have high standards or haven't' been around.
i fully support and endorse anything he does in the future, including this.
also, great to see alex and ryan joining him on it. its obvious behind the scenes they jumped ship as a direct result of what happened to jeff, and i admire that kind of loyalty and friendship in what is such a fucking cutthroat industry.

I was a huge fan of Jeff and Ryan's when they worked at GameSpot, definitely the best personality's on that website. So I'm totally going to fallow this site and there podcast, I can't wait for the whole thing to go live.
Hear hear, I think he is a top bloke. One of the best parts about the old Gamespot crew.
I think it's not bad, I bet it catches on.
They are not LOGO designers you know.
They review Smash Brawl! Four out of Five stars!

Oh, it has competition in that department.
Love how they dont need to bow down to the Nintendo faithfull. Well I dont think Gerstman ever did, especially with his controversial review of twilight princess.
Good job guys
