I Hate Gamespot.

Post by Spinning Hat »

I really, truly do. It's where I used to go to get half ased articles with poor writing, about games that are coming out for PS2, PC, XBox, etc.. They USED to have articles that you could just stop by, read, deal with their ads, and then leave. Now, All the Articles are locked behing the "Gamespot Complete" shroud. Not there are very few articles, (Most games have none, but some have a couple) You get to view maybe 5 or 6 of the 900 they have of a game, and videos work the same way. I already subscribe to Electronic Gaming Monthly. I get all my console news there, but I needed something for PC Games, ad to check out ads I saw in EGM...<br><br>Now, there is nothing Left.

This is the site for the one and only gaming mag I subscribe to.

Yeah, it's the new treand in gaming websites. They all think they're as good as actual magazines so now they all charge for their services. Gamespots just following the lead of ign. Frankly, I'm a little pissed off about it, but at least you can still read any new reviews that are less then a week old. They think they can make some money, fine, let them go ahead and try. I don't have enough to spend on them, I'll just find my info else where. <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>
