Personally I think this shows that we need to step up our efforts around the Gamespot offices. I mean, Lara Croft is pretty geeky and all, but this definitely raises the bar

Yeah, cubecraft.com is pretty awesome.

I typically don't get a lot of enjoyment out of flash games, but Chronotron manages to be considerably more fun than most with the inclusion of a simple mechanic / gimmick that reminds me somewhat of Portal. And it has a robot! Robot! Definitely good for a half hour's distraction.

Better late than never, right? From his going away party on 3/21:

One of these days I might get around to posting his last Kart Kall too.

Sousaphone Hero vs Major Minor's Majestic March ... coincidence?

Full disclosure: I've been a Sousaphone Hero supporter for quite a while

So, as you probably know, yesterday was Alex's last day at Gamespot. He'll be missed for a number of reasons, but for myself none so much as his presence at Kart Kall. Even though his racing skills aren't nearly as (ahem) consistent as my own, he could always be counted on for a good match and the requisite smack-talking. So, due to his oft-stated love for it, the second track on the shell cup (DS version) shall henceforth be known as "The Alex Navarro Memorial Moo Moo Farm". (Hm.. actually, I may have just stumbled across great idea for a plus-size clothing store..)

Here's a bit of the action from yesterday's game (you'll notice Brad was having an especially frustrating day, but as we say, that's the way the kart crumbles)

Best of luck, man.

Hi everyone,

Though I'm not part of the front-end team, I'm very proud that they've allowed me to announce the comprehensive site redesign we have planned for 2008. Though we all love the current look of the site, we realize a refresh is due every once in a while. With that in mind, here's an example of what a game review will look like with the new design: http://tinyurl.com/2vbawt

As you can see in the example, we've decided to go for a streamlined retro look, as well as employing some innovative image technology that our tireless market research has indicated is very popular with the gaming community.

We look forward to your feedback!
