I place my votes because I believe that gaming is a great hobby. I write reviews, I make recommendations, I talk to friends and others about gaming... I like to think I do my part. Voting is a part of that. I believe in voting when it comes to the US government and, while it's not on the same level of importance because the nature is geared toward entertainment and not the laws by which we live, I believe in voting here too.

I think it is important to recognize not only the right to vote but also the responsibility to do so. When my favorite site (yes, Gamespot) asks the people to contribute by voting, I think it is something I should participate in. I believe in pushing gaming into the future and I believe developers listen to the gamers (well, the good ones do at least) and what better message can we send to them than purchasing hight quality games and then voting for the games that deserve to be recognized for their outstanding achievements? It is the best way I can think of to get the word out there to developers so they know what it is that gamers like and what they want in future games.

As for Gamespot, I just want my emblem that shows I voted. I have been coming here since1999 and I registered in 2004. I like to think I have shown my loyalty to this site especially since I have sent many new members to the site for their gaming information. I support Gamespot. I hope they will support me back by recognizing my contributions. It may seem petty, but I think it is important. Should someone look up my blogs, my reviews, or just my profile, I want them to know that I am someone who knows games and knows what he is talking about. How will that person know that if I don't have the emblems the reflect that I have stayed up with the times and voted for the games that have done well?

The voting is requested by Gamespot. The emblems are there for a reason. I think it's only fair.

I got Call of Duty: World at War today, and so far, I'm like 3/4 of the way through it. This is my first World War II game. All my other shooters are modern, futuristic or set at any time after the second world war. 

As I'm playing it, I'm thinking it's a good game. Good graphics. Good sound. Good gameplay. But at the same time... I'm feeling guilty. I don't know if it's... Right to market something based on a real event as a game and enjoy it. I know it sounds like something an old person would say... But I'm serious. I'm just feeling a bit of guilt playing it. Like I shouldn't be enjoying it. 

Just wondering if any of you understand what I mean. Leave your comments if you want
