The Road to Pax this year hit quite a few bumps, but in the end it all worked out. It had to... Within 24 hours before I was supposed to leave for PAX I realized that my flight somehow was scheduled to be on Saturday, it was supposed to be Thursday. So after jumping through some hoops I got everything arranged like it was supposed to be. Whew. I get to the airport and as I am standing in the se...
I, like most of us have been in a daze all day. How can it be possible that Ryan Davis is gone? It seems so unfair... Ryan had an energy that brought the room to life. Whether it was a room full of people at PAX or me driving to work he always brought a smile to your face. I remember my first interactions with Ryan, it was pretty nerve-racking on my end. I mean, this is the guy I have listened...
Halo Reach is released tonight at Midnight, of course I will not be waiting in line. I waited in line for my cat helmet years ago and didn't even play the game when I got home. Having to be up early because you have a job is a blessing and a curse. Anyway.... tomorrow is the day. I pretty much talked myself out of the Legendary Edition a long time ago, until last night. I know that if I happen...
I have recently gotten around to importing my cd collection into itunes (about damn time), so i am seeing cd's that I have not even looked at in like 15 years. When I was younger I would keep my concert ticket stub in the cd case for which album I saw them on tour. For example Primus in 1993 was in Sailing the Seas of Cheese. In recent years major concert ticket pricing has skyrocketed and I of...
I don't know about you all, but there is something about getting the Limited Edition version of a game makes me feel like I got something really special. The funny part about it is 9 times out of 10 the joke is on me. I rarely ever watch the bonus dvds, the multiplayer skins are kind of neat, but honestly I am more of a single player kind of guy. So what is the draw? I actually really like the...
Giant Bomb adding the quest stuff is an amazing addition to the site. I have visited and seen more things on the site that I had no idea existed, kudos to those involved.
hi everyone.
X-Wing on the iphone seems like a no brainer to me. I know they have a version of the Force Unleashed coming to it, but it seems like the wrong game for the platform. All they would need to do to make it work is add a "throttle bar", like the slide to unlock bar, and a couple buttons to fire and we are off and running. The upside to the touchscreen is you can place stuff wherever plus you could...
I really had no interest in Crackdown initially, all I could get from the screenshots was a dude picking up a car, neat. The art style Buy this game. didn't grab my attention at all. All that changed when the demo landed on Xbox Live, loved it, in fact pre-ordered it the next day. The Halo 3 beta suddenly was on the backburner. Many hours were spent looking for those damn Orbs, it should have b...
Good afternoon peeps, hope your day is treating you well. I recently picked up the Metal Gear Solid PS3 Bundle for you guessed it, MGS4. The Playstation brand and I have a love / hate relationship. In the last Generation of consoles I was clearly an Xbox user, I thought the controller was better (still do) and the games looked much nicer than the PS2 counterpart. My main problem with the PS2 wa...

Hi, i'm Phil, just a gamer who happens to write music for the best gaming site in the world, Giant Bomb. I have been playing games since I was like 5 years old. (Cue time travel music) I remember the first time I ever saw an arcade machine, Pac-Man in fact. My family was at the TG&Y in Lawrence, KS, I am pretty sure I was trying to get my parents to buy me a Star Wars action figure when I notic...
