Holding Hands
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor, PC Games
"As technology and game design in general are getting more advanced, more designers are being compelled to let their games do the work for you, relegating you to the role of a spectator."

 
The Way to Make a Comeback?
Andrew Park/Managing Editor
"I've received a lot of great suggestions for Games That Should Be Remade...but some weren't so great."

 
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Amer Ajami/Senior Editor, PC Games
"There I was, surrounded by hundreds of playable PC and video games that were months away from being released...I was in heaven."

 
Before We Knew Better
Jeff Gerstmann/Executive Editor, Video Games
"On paper, Sega's Make Your Own Music Video series must have seemed like a no-brainer."

 
From Pages to Your Screen
Trevor Rivers/Associate Producer, GameSpot Live
"It seems like any game that's based on a license these days looks to movies, comic books, or pen-and-paper role-playing games for inspiration."

 
Addictive Games: Part II
Sam Parker/Hardware Editor
"An addictive game is usually just a good game, so a game being addictive is just a sign of its quality."

 
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Ryan Davis/Associate Managing Editor
"There's a certain helplessness that an editor experiences when playing a preview build of a game."

 
I Am What I Am
Tim Tracy/Associate Producer, GameSpot Live
"The time I spent with Dungeon Siege was probably one of the most fulfilling gaming sessions I'd had in quite some time."

 
Remakes…Ugh…
David Toole/Senior Producer, GameSpot Live
"I just want to say: Remakes suck."

 
Superheroes
Ricardo Torres/Associate Previews Editor
"If I sound a bit desperate...well, I am. My comic game diet hasn't been very balanced for the last decade or so."

 
Is Gameplay Really All That Matters?
Axel Strohm/European Correspondent
"If the Tony Hawk series had the graphics of Jet Set Radio, would it still have sold as well? I doubt it."

 
Giant Robots Vs. Invisible Hands
Miguel Lopez/Assistant Editor, Video Games
"Robots are fresh. I think I have something of a predilection for them."
