Weekly Report: Feedback

Community News Blog - This week's community report shares the latest GameSpot forums activity, member spotlight, tips about reporting advertisements, and more!

Announcements

Box Art Hunt Activity
GameSpot's first image-guessing game gives us the opportunity to test your box art knowledge! Box Art Hunt is a new activity that will be held in the General Games Discussion forum each month. Also, you do not have to get each of them right. You may guess what you think the image is to receive the new emblem as long as you have eight games mentioned.

Upcoming Beta Giveaway
Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement about a beta key giveaway for any of you who are car racing fanatics. More details to follow mid next week. You can check back here or check the front page for a link to the upcoming beta page.

    @celtic1962 -- Correction: PixelJunk is for PS3. So it should be filed under the PS2/PS3 section.

    I feel special for being mentioned. This site is so awesome.

    Thanks for mentioning me, only problem is that I'm listed for the wrong game. My review is actually for Bioshock 2 on the 360 and c_rake did pixeljunk on the PC

    I suppose my review of World in Conflict is the one with the highest quality among the reviews that I have written. The first paragraph of that review is probably the best passage that I have ever written on this site.

    And good to know that Samson089 got cited here too. One can never go wrong when one has a profile pic as amusingly silly as Samson089's.
