@iandizion713: The issue there is that, unlike Zelda, Nintendo kind of cut us off from coverage. Everybody got to check it out the same way, by watching the stream. So no one here got to play it, ask questions, or really do anything beyond what Nintendo showed on the stream.
Really excited to dig in once they give us the chance, though.
@redalert539: For GameSpot, the most popular content we produce are news and reviews. Review roundups are a way to bridge the gap between those two things, while also giving people who don't care explicitly about just our review a look at a few more of the big ones going up. Sure, you can also go to Metacritic, but if you want to see a roundup here, we like to offer that as well!
I'm not sure about score explaining articles. Could you pass along an example? I know we talk about them on some of our discussion videos, which just gives a little more context to big games and allows multiple people to chime in.
@redalert539: I think it's a helpful thing to know, especially in situations like this where the game is out early early in Japan, and the review embargo lifts well before the game releases in the US.
While it sucks to have to wait for the game, at least you know you won't be reading super rushed reviews!
@BladeOfBlue: Fixed! We actually have a separate team that does promo on the site and puts the headlines for the front page. Sometimes there's a disconnect...
@drumjod: Nothing sneaky, just a light CES for gaming-specific content overall. This is Razer's latest watch, which will probably draw some people in for the brand, but it's otherwise an extension of the Razer smarband from two years ago: http://www.gamespot.com/videos/razer-nabu-smartband-gamespot-at-ces-2014/2300-6416743/
It's unlikely that we'll review it, but since it was a part of the Razer booth, I figured people might want to see what it was about.
