Now that the winners have all received their prizes, I'll announce them for all to envy. Prize Winner Brütal Legend (X360) JJWeatherman Costume Quest (XBLM) Video_Game_King Psychonauts (Steam) TheSeductiveMoose Congratulations again to the winners. Whether I continue my monthly contests here on my blog or elsewhere, I'll be sure to at least make a blog directing my followers to it.
I'm not big into these sort of statements so I'll keep this brief. I am putting my GB Weekly Feed blog on (most likely permanent) hiatus. I have two main reasons for this. Not enough people really use or even see it, which defeats the purpose of it anyways. I need to make time for other projects. I initially started the weekly blog in the first place just to keep myself writing a little on a re...
*Image by GB user MarkWahlberg March Contest I was going to have a recent game as the prize for this month's contest, but I have decided instead to offer several less expensive titles. No designing this month, so entering will be much easier. I had a sudden urge for a Double Fine theme. Note: You're on the honor system to buy the XBLA game with the points. I will follow up with that winner, so...

For a long time I had decided to restrain myself from making a Game of the Year blog since everybody else makes one. But it looks like I just can't keep my opinions to myself. It is a good opportunity for me to start working on my new year's resolution of starting up and sustaining my blog though. So without further delay, I present my personal top ten games of the year based on what I have pla...
I was just playing Hitman: Blood Money on my computer and noticed a reference to Kane & Lynch: Dead Men : Full image link It's been a long time since I've played the game, but I never noticed this in the 360 version. This is my first time playing Blood Money on my computer, so I wonder if the newspaper clippings are different for the PC version. Hmmmm... Anyways, I enjoy seeing references in ga...
I've heard many online opinions suggesting the PSP 3000 over the PSP Go. I've recently been heavily debating the purchase of a PSP, but I don't want to buy a Go if it is a poor fit for me. Besides the price, lack of UMD functionality, and some missing games from the Playstation Network, what is so wrong with buying a PSP Go? Here are my conditions: I need super portability Battery life isn't re...
In a further attempt to motivate myself towards more blogging on Giant Bomb, I am reviving an old practice of mine: Seven songs each week; one song for every day of the year. I have a bunch of music, so I won’t pick random songs. Instead, I’m going to pick songs that I would like other users to notice for one reason or another. I’m no music aficionado but I’m sure I have something for everybody...
This is a fairly recycled complaint, but it still exists so let the whining commence. Having the main character experience amnesia is the easiest way to start up a story. It allows characters the need to explain things to you in the game, such as tutorial missions and introductory conversations, and it is a great way to throw in lame plot twists or sudden memory retrieval moments. The whole thi...
Zombies! First off, I just want to express my excitement for recently earning an achievement that I've been wanting to get for quite some time. I'm talking about the 5-Day Survivor achievement for Dead Rising! Although afterward, I had to justify to myself that playing the game for 10+ hours was a worthy way to spend my time just for that damn laser sword. I also was unable to obtain the 7-Day...
For the past few days, I've been playing some of my older games. One benefit of playing older games is that you can see how far (and sometimes not so far) games have come. Anyways, it's nice to keep quality in proper perspective. Within the past couple of hours, I finished Trespasser , a game that game me nightmares years ago. The game isn't necessarily scary, although it does seem like that wa...
! Ah, yes. The red ring of death. Known by many, experienced by....well, many. Last night I had another encounter with this delightful image. This will be my third time sending a 360 in for hardware failure. After the first time, I got the same console back. The second time, I was sent a different 360. This time, I'm hoping for a different 360 again. My second one plagued me with disc read erro...
Lately, I've been drinking copious amounts of zero calorie soda. They don't taste bad at all and they don't kill you nearly as fast as regular soda. However, I give you this dire warning: Zero calorie soda tastes horrible within minutes of opening! If you don't drink it quickly, then you will surely end up with a very nasty beverage! That is all.
LG Shine I got a brand new phone for my birthday, the LG Shine. The Shine is a slider phone with a 2 megapixel camera and music playing abilities. A slot for an optional micro SD card is also built into the phone. All around the phone is very aesthetically pleasing. The front display of the phone does act as a functional mirror when the display is dimmed. However, the commercial is very mislead...
...for a clock that works, of course.
I really like the style of the site. The color scheme is especially great. I can't wait for it to expand more and more. My only complaint so far is load times. The mini windows have atrocious load times at the moment and sometimes never load at all. I'm sure this is being worked on though.
The Giant Bomb has landed! All stand in awe at its wave of awesomeness that spreads across the land!
