Very surprised the first Halo - reviewed by the great Joe Fielder - didn't get a 10. It deserved it. And I do think Half Life 2 deserved a 10 as well. I wonder why the rest of the staff was against Jason Ocampo giving it a 10. That game is still one of the best single player fps experiences today. They were stupid. Metal Gear Solid 4 definitely did NOT deserve a 10 score. 75% loooong cut scenes, 25% gameplay.
Hopefully, this time Nintendo makes games specifically for the newer model. Make a 3D Quake or Doom with online support. The 3DS has ZERO shooters. Make 2D fighters for it, too. They only have Street Fighter.
Yes, has Nintendo confirmed if the new 3DS will play DS games? I'll wait for this version, instead of buying the current ugly, hard cornered version with a weaker cpu.
They've always used freelancers, yes, but the site staff always handled the brunt of the reviews, with most major releases being reviewed by them. Having regular staff handle most of the reviews helps instill trust with your audience. Why aren't remaining editors Chris Watters, Shaun McGinnis, and Mark Walton not contributing more? Disappointing..
Remember when Gamespot had actual staff (not freelancers) who wrote reviews? Who the hell is this Josiah guy? Kevin Van Ord is the only staffer writing reviews. He deserves a raise for being overworked. Gamespot sucks.
