GameSpot Staff Desk Tour: Carolyn PetitFor this week’s GameSpot staff desk tour, we spotlight Carolyn Petit. Carolyn has been reading GameSpot since 2000 and writing for it since 2008. Her latest reviews include: Saints Row IV, Gone Home, and The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. When she is not writing reviews you can find her talking about new releases, answering questions on Ask GameSpot, and speaking her mind the GameSpot GamePlay podcast. This weekend Carolyn will be a part of two panels at PAX Prime this weekend: “Achieving Gender Diversity in Gaming: OK, Now What?” and “Gender Diversity in Games: Where Are All The Believable Female Characters?” If you are at Seattle and some time to listen in, come by the panels and support a Gamespotter.Team Social Content SpotlightAt noon, we had our second fireside chat.
