They should call their site GameCrater, that's catchier than GiantBomb (hey they went from nuke to GS, so it isn't out of the question.)

It's good to see that GS best review talent is starting up another site.

Could this be the proof Jeff Gerstmann was biased against the Wii? :P

After all the hate Jeff got for some of his Wii reviews he probably didn't want a Wii section.

There's a space for a Wii tab.

There reason it's not there is because he hasn't commented on any Wii games yet, they've only talked about a few games. A Wii tab right now would lead to nowhere, but the space has clearly been reserved (as in, that giant black space between the tabs.)

YAY. happy to see they're doing something again.

But the review system sucks. They need more than a 5 point scale for scores.

why?

if you actually read the review it should give you all the info you need :)

IMO points for a review are just for fanboys to use to see whos is bigger

What's wrong with 5 points?

Straight to the point.

There are no Wii updates yet. See the empty tab at the top? It sure ain't for the N-Gage.

Taken from the site:

The sections for Wii, PC, DS, and PSP will appear as we cover games on those platforms. We just haven't written about any of those yet. Our first DS-related item will probably be a review of Professor Layton (which I still need to write). - Jeff Gerstmann

I wonder if they would embrace a System Wars crowd when they get their community boards going ?

His Arrow Pointing Down podcast and his Points! videos have been good and quite amusing. Hope this develops well. If he puts the heart he put into his blog entries, videos and podcasts... Giantbomb will be gold.

I like the review system, the simpler the better since it makes it less important. My biggest gripe about this joke of a forum is 90% of people see "Resistance: 7.w/e" or "Mass Effect: 8.5" and run to the forums to **** or gloat. Anyone who cares about the review system is way too caught up on scores.
