jeff gerstmann and ryan davis, of the gamespot-gate debacle fame, have arisen from the ashes and replaced their podcast-arrowpointingdown-with a website and podcast called giant bomb.
i'm a big fan of the podcast and jeff's writing pre-firing, so even though this site is in the infancy stages, i think it's going to be great.
also check out their video series, the aptly titled 'how to build a bomb'-which will no doubt garner them some negative reactions from google, which is a neat insight into what it takes to start your own games website (and the thousands of dollars they appear to be investing.
smash bros. impressions
just wanted to give an update that smash bros. is indeed fun. not sure how much more fun it is than the last two games, but it's neat.
i think it's gotta be the depth of interaction that's stemming the good early reviews because for me, the platforming part of the game just ain't cutting it.
tried to play a little while with jen last night but we both got bored and quit to take up our respective couch hobbies. assassin's creed for me and surfing/blogging/e-mailing for her.
the actual 'smashing'-which is how i refer to the brawl element-is fun but without a big group of people or trying the online play, there's not much to report.
meta knight still kicks ass and i've concluded that the sideways wiimote, and the wiimote and nunchuck combo control schemes are useless. it's wavebird of classic controller all the way.
if anyone thinks any different i'll
have a smashing and stealthy evening, i know i will,
JD
p.s. i've also figured out how to put my gamercard in the sidebar...so that's new. i know i've not got much in the way of gamerscore but i've only had the 360 2 months, lay off.
