New Guy

Some new guy showed up at the office today, sat down at my old desk, and announced that he was ready to get started on his dream job. According to a post on the NeoGAF forums, our new reviewer's name is Tom Mc Shea. A subsequent Google search suggests that his previous exploits include work for both Kwanzoo and 1UP, as well as unwittingly starting rumors about the Xbox Originals releases of Jade Empire and Conker: Live and Reloaded.

We're pleased to welcome Tom "Gigglepoo" Mc Shea to the team. Look for his name on GameSpot reviews soon.

This seems like a real "Rages to Riches "story for a guy who loves game. Kind of heart warming. So, good luck. NB. Seriously "Gigglepoo"?

Great, have to say, the ranks have been pretty thin at GS lately. Good to see people coming in instead of the other way around.
