Welcome to GameSpotting, the latest top contender to have been named the new World Video Boxing Association champion, by TKO, after three grueling rounds.

We're feeling a little punch-drunk following Nintendo's massive announcement earlier this week, and as such, you'll find no fewer than three columns dedicated to the topic of multiscreened handhelds, all accompanied by an equal number of references to the Virtual Boy. But, we've still got some fight left in us, so we'll take a swing at awkwardly implemented urban aesthetics and the next GTA, among other things. If you want a shot at the dream match, take it to the forums, or read the GuestSpotting FAQ and submit your own column.

Decisions To Make
