Top 20 Things to do While Waiting for Doom 3
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor
"Let me present to you now the top 20 things to do while passing the minutes until August 3 (or thereabouts) rolls around."

It's Academic, Really
Steve Palley/Associate Editor, Mobile
"However much the new media permeates our culture at present time, its ascendancy will be incomplete until the White Towers of academia coronate it."

Truth is Stranger than Games
Bob Colayco/Features Editor
"How long will it be before sports games attempt to model even more serious off-the-field problems?"

It Won't Be Casual--I'll Wear a Tie
Avery Score/Games Editor, Mobile
"So, the next logical question would be, 'What is it about these mobile and online titles--that sell for $5 and $20, respectively--that appeals to female gamers?'"

Upgrade as Necessary
James Yu/Senior Hardware Editor
"If you're going to put down a stack of bills for a new video card, why not pick one that will be able to run Doom 3 and Half-Life 2? The trouble is that people have been upgrading for Doom 3 since the GeForce 3."

The Games of Our Lives
Ryan Mac Donald/Executive Producer, GameSpot Live
"Are Fight Night, Counter-Strike, or Battlefield games that I will enjoy for the rest of my life?"

Here Comes a New Challenger!
Tyler Winegarner/Associate Producer, GameSpot Live
"Oh. So what he's telling me is that I still suck..."

Best. Game. Ever.
Cory Birdsong/GuestSpotter
"There are so many off-putting elements to the average Final Fantasy game that I'm still surprised at the mainstream popularity they've managed to garner."
