I believe I first came across it when I was really into Pokemon(like 10 years ago). I was obsessed with the American Release of Gold and Silver Version and this site kept me well informed on the details of its release. So what is your story?

When I lived in Europe a few years ago I used it to look up Final Fantasy and stuff like that.

I forget. But I knew of Gamefaqs first, so I probably followed a link from there.

In 2002, in the first few months of grade 9 me and my friend were obsessed with the releases of Star Wars Galaxies and Halo 2, so we discovered GS for all the information we needed. We had computers in my business class, so we went on during class all the time.

Don't think I used the main forums (used the seperate game forums for info) until about late 2006 though..

Same thing here. I didn't expect to stay long, so I didn't choose my username wisely. :(

I had been to the website a few times reading reviews on games that I was planning to get. I joined randomly one day and tried the forums out. Ah, those were the days.

Way back in the day. Googling I suppose. I found GameFaqs the same way and posted there a long time ago with a console question. They were most helpful...

I was probably looking for reviews of games and then ended up here. That was a long time ago. It says I've had this account for 5 years, but I know I came here even before that.

About 7-8 years ago I was looking for video game cheats, and I found Gamespot on Google. I came here occasionally for game hints, then discovered reviews! I've been a regular user for about 5 years, but I just got around to making an account 2 years ago.

"Gamespot TV"

I'd come across the site maybe once or twice before because my cousin would look up games and movies, but never made an account until I saw it.

I was a kid looking up help for Banjo Kazooie on Yahoo and Gamespot was one of the results. This sight has changed so much since back then.

I can't even remember. I think I might have found it when looking for cheats, and then later discovered the forums, read them for a while and finally signed up.
