What motivated you to join this awesome website known as Gamespot? If I remember right I joined just so I could participate in the discussion "Sam Fisher vs Solid Snake" on the System Wars forum haha. What about you?

Wow. Overshadowed by a bunch of higher levels here. Call me intimidated.

I found Gamespot back when I was looking for PS2 reviews. I joined when I wanted to post on videos. I went to the forums when I saw you needed to be level 3 to comment on them.

I'm mostly a System Warzer, though.

Well, I used GS for reviews and whatnot for a while before getting an account. I joined around Christmas in 2007 because I'd gotten some new games that year and had gotten back into gaming pretty heavily. At the time I really liked the look of the community, so I decided to get an account...and that's about it!

I wanted to debate in the forums. About video games. After a while I noticed the religious discussions and that's what has kept me here after 7 years.

I lurked here for 1-2 years and decided that GameSpot seemed like a pleasant place to talk about random stuff and videogames.

I like games.....

.

that's the gist of it. :)

But what made this different from other game sites was the profile features and awesome people.I originally stumbled upon it by searching cheats though.:lol:

I don't know why everyones leaving GS for gameFAQS. I made an account on there to post walkthroughs and I don't find it to be that good of a site.:?

Gamefaqs has people who plays more seriously, the problem is that sometimes they are a little bit cocky and act like if they were the biggest authorities from certain franchises, the Marvel vs Capcom 2 players really hate the "scrubs"
