[QUOTE="freshgman"]As long as he is replaced with someone decent. Come on guys did you think they would be here forever?ElArab

They're all leaving at the same time man! I bet someone else just filed in a two weeks notice.

-hell, didn't Ryan and Jeff just start some blog thingy together? I haven't been tracking these guys when they left. Either way, they are quiting because they are all mad at their bosses! More power to them and all, but damn, GS is gonna eventually have no staff except the webmasters and mods.

Ryan, Jeff and Alex made a podcast together. http://www.arrowpointingdown.com/

HL2 being the best game ever is an opinion, I think its far from being the best game ever

Honestly, you could tell me anyone was leaving at this point and I'd believe it. ... Come to think of it Ocampo might have been the last reviewer that I was familiar with.Archon_basic

But look at what he gave Battlefield 2...a 9.3...A 9.3!!!!!!!!!! I got that game on its release date and it was basically unplayble because of the bugs and how horribly balanced the vehicle play was. I played it for a week and then I gave it away...Battlefield 2 sucked and he said it was BETTER than HL2!!!!!!!!!

HL2 shipped with a better multiplayer component (CS:S...still entertaining if not completely novel) and the single player game was godly. Valve deserved so much more credit for HL2 than he gave them.

I hate it when people with no taste get to review games and project an image of the game to everyone who reads their review.

Who is that...? I don't know who most of the GS staff is... except the Admins who make themselves seen.Cube_of_MooN
He mostly does PC stuff around the site. He was a good editor for the most part, kinda over-rated STALKER. It was an awesome game as far as feel and atmosphere but it played and ran terrible and still gave it an 8.5. If brad leaves, the site is done!

Pretty soon you won't recognize anyone on Gamespot anymore. It'll be all new staff members on On the Spot, the Hotspot, and everything. Hopefully they'llmake Gamespot like it was in its glory days several years ago.

At least he announced he would be leaving, as opposed to resigning one day dramatically or getting fired.

All editors will be systematically replaced with robots that buff the balls of Bungie employees until they shine so bright that they could blind you.

NO! He is my favorite GS reviewer at the moment after everyone else left. To those who don't know who he is, he is the main reviewer for all the PC games.

I hope this guy doesn't review DS games. DS reviews barely get posted and if they do, it's always like 2 weeks after the game is released.Lyphe2k
Nah he was exclusively reviewing PC games.

I'm pretty sure he's the only Asian guy on GS staff, correct me if I'm wrong though - anyway - He's the asian guy with the glasses.

Meh who cares? GS is dead now, they dug their own grave from greed.

Now we just have to wait for Jeff, Ryan, Alex and Jason to make their own site. They already have a podcast together. :)

Another editor leaves, lol. Main stream sites suck anyway, too biased and too muhc pressure from advertising. When games like COD4 start getting 9.5's, u got problems. gamespot has been crap for a long time anyway, as has IGN, Gamepro, Gamespy.

This is madness.

Seriously though, if reviewers are leaving at this fast of a rate, GS really needs to start rebuilding its public image and attempting to right its past wrongs...

Cool! Hey thanks for posting that! I've looked at Ryan's blog before, but I didn't know he started a podcast. I think the Hotspot is what I've missed the most since Jeff left.
