Welcome to GameSpot Entertainment

I think its time for me to move on from Gamespot then.

Boooooooo. :(

Focus on giving your members accurate gaming news. If we want other topics/interest there's other sites that master one trade

Stick to Gaming News GameSpot.

Were is this anime section people are talking about sounds good and Lady Ga Ga is the boom . I do not know what all the fuss is this website is doing a great job . Big deal you have to put up with a little bit of a inconvenience with the thing that don't interest you .

I miss the old days of gamespot when it was actually good. Watching on the spot with jeff, rich... man GS dead nowadays.

IGNSpot

Now we need a filter option to control what news we want to see. I'd like my homepage to be strictly about games, maybe put an option the the profile. I hope the staff can do something in this regard.

Love it, keep up the good work!

I just hate how game reviews which was the main draw of GS is shafted to the side. They rarely do indie games anymore, which is quite sad.

I’ve been a member at GameSpot for nearly 14 years and was already a frequent visitor by 1998. Hard to believe.

I look back fondly on the sometimes awkward but always awesome staff and content creators of the early days, all the site revisions, changes to the review scoring system, the fights and friends from the old OT and SW, GameSpot Complete, the abrupt farewell to GameSpot Complete, the Kane and Lynch controversy, and oh so much more but I’ll spare you the rest of my trip down memory lane because you know it too.

At some point during this journey gaming waded into the mainstream and with that came a certain degree of sterilization, but I’m of the opinion that GameSpot still has plenty of meat on its bones thanks in large part to several key staff members who are reminiscent of the people that drew me to GameSpot in the first place; guys like Greg Kasavin, Ryan Davis and Jeff Gerstmann who are unquestionably gamers first and Internet personalities second (if at all in some cases which is fine by me). I valued the information they shared because they were just smart gamers sharing the information they valued, and I think the same can be said for newer additions to the team like Danny O’Dwyer and Alexa Ray Corriea among others.

I’m not concerned that GameSpot is continuing to change and evolve (that’s just one of the constants here after all), and although I’m not thrilled with the addition of GameSpot Entertainment I’m a geek-of-all-trades and can see myself learning to appreciate the team’s efforts to widen the GS scope. (K, here comes the but…)

But, a decade ago I was visiting GameSpot daily hoping to catch an infrequent update because more often than not I would consider it a valuable nugget of industry news or peer opinion. In contrast, at present I find myself visiting daily knowing that there will be numerous content updates that I’ll have to sift through in order to find something I value. The former made me feel like a small part of the GameSpot team, but the latter makes me feel like one of the masses and a marketer’s target. Maybe that’s just the cost of doing business on the Internet in this day and age, or maybe this is just what it feels like to get older and realize that all the chatter isn’t directed at you anymore. Either way, as a long time GameSpotter it’s my sincerest hope that as your business continues to grow and evolve you maintain at least a small part of what brought so many of us here in the first place at the turn of the century.

Okay, now where did I misplace my Ensure…

This is kind of an afterthought, but I thought I’d drop this here for those of you haven’t had the pleasure of watching one of Greg’s reviews. No drama, no flair, no announcer voice... just a fellow gamer who’s enthusiastic about telling you why World of Warcraft is worth playing. I especially love the comments between 1:00 and 1:15.

Nice! You're turning into IGN.

The thing is, now the focus isn't entirely on video games, there will always be 'entertainment' stories in the mix. And honestly part of what I loved about GameSpot all these years was the dedication to gaming news. Now things will just get lost in the clutter.

I'm not sure how this will keep Gamespot relevant, or how it wasn't relevant before. But I think most of the people who visit or used to visit GS will agree with me that much of what made Gamespot unique was lost whenever this website went through the redesign a few years ago. This is just a natural progression of where the people calling the shots wanted things to go for some time now. You can't really fool me by suggesting otherwise.

For everyone trashing the idea, understand that this is GameSpot's way of staying relevant. Before you bash the idea, give em a shot.

I don't care about your weigh in on rest of the entertainment industry because I already visit reputable sources for those particular branches. You'd do much better to focus on improving and elevating your heavily declining gaming section and extremely shallow and borderline infantile reviews and evaluations featured there.

Looking forward to it!

As if gaming side was being covered properly.

Can we also have some porn industry news as well? That is entertainment for some of us

So Welcome to Gamespot: IGN

Thank you for dropping all pretense point blank going full IGN...Goodluck...errr can you guys anime as well?

People keep complaining about the non game related stories, yet the game coverage itself is no different than it has ever been, so I don't know why people keep acting like the site is suddenly awful considering the game coverage quality is just fine. I've loved this site for over a decade now and although there's been ups and downs (I still don't like the video players on the site now) I think the quality of the game coverage is great. I've MOSTLY enjoyed reviews even though I've had issues with them from time to time. And the gaming news is what I come here for every day. I usually don't even check the rest of the site, I just want the current news and finding news about a new movie trailer or some new DC Comics thing is great. More info that I'm interested in in the same place.

TL;DR Keep up the good work lads and lasses. I like the non game coverage so far, and since it isn't hurting the quality of the gaming coverage, I don't think there's anything to complain about.

This just killed all those "this is gamespot, GAME! wtf comic/movie/lady gaga stuff?" posts.

Well, i'm happy.

Lame you guys suck just like ign

the real reason for this the game industry takes to long to make a decent video game....so we need more stuff to make us relevant web sight

Just because I like video games I must love toys and comics?

Also the music and tv show articles that gamespot have been posting annoy me. Mostly because I know they're only doing it on gamespot(a gaming site, it's in the name) because they want to expand there whole advertising business and selling favorable reviews.

" The feedback on our entertainment stories has been great" hmmm must not be the comments I have been reading. You could make a Movie Spot or Entertainment Spot.

If you really care about our feedback then just do thing one little thing for me and others like my self that mostly come here for gaming news. A "filter" to remove all none gaming news content on gamespot /news/.
