Another Jeff blog post, so if you're sick of hearing about Jeff-related matters, then close this page right now.

Well. That was. Interesting. I'm far from a staple of Gamespot's site, I know my blog fanbase isn't quite as rabid as I would like it to be ;) But I thought this, and my following decisions were worth blogging about for the few of you who do read, do give a **** about what I have to say or happen to know me in another community and want one place to find all my opinions on the matter.

Here's the first, and largely, the most important sentiment:

"What the ****."

This whole scenario is messed up, basically, and I don't want to spend my time on a site that is so easily persuaded by marketing dollars. When I joined Gamespot, this site was far and away the best. Then Greg Kasavin left... And Carrie left... And Rich left. If Jeff had left of his own accord the tone of this blog would be very different. It would be one of great disappointment.

Whether you agree with Jeff's reviews or not, the fact is, he was a massive... MASSIVE part of this site. A mainstay of almost all their video content, and one of the highest ranking staff. Whoever has to fill his shoes will find it mighty hard to do so.

But this isn't disappointment. This is... Anger. For years I've used this site under the impression I was a member of a videogames community that cared about rating and discussing great games and poor games. Aiding buying decisions, supplying us with news, all UNBIASED. For months, the System Wars goons have been telling us Gamespot is biased in one way or another. Unfortunately. They were right, to a degree. And it's worse than anyone thought.

In the wake of this, what is the average reader to do? Well, it looks like I'm finding another site.

I love video content, so, I'm leaning towards Gametrailers. Probably going to start browsing NeoGAF more in terms of forums.

In unrelated and coincidental events running alongside this pandemonium, I've actually got a little job as a writer at a videogames website now. It's an unpaid thing that I'm doing, for the experience of doing it. And, if any of you are wondering, the reviews I'll be doing for them will be quite different to my Gamespot User Reviews. My user reviews here aren't thorough enough and are simply my opinion on the games. The reviews I'll be doing for this new place will definitely be more professional.

The site is undergoing many changes and right now we're trying to get content up for all the recent games to fit with everyone's busy schedules. I also have a blog there which I'll be writing in, so if you REALLY love me, or if you're leaving Gamespot and really don't want to go anywhere else and want somewhere entirely new, you could do worse than pointing your browser towards www.game-spectrum.com.

So that's it then. We've had some good times (E3 live broadcasts for hours, Gameplay marathons, Zelda 8.8) and some bad times (when my addiction to videogame news has kept me here and away from more important matters (like school)).

To the remaining Gamespot staff that I respect as reviewers and purveyors of delicious internet video nuggets, I wish you the best of luck in Post-apocalyptic Gamespot. To the few friends I've made here, I'll see you on Xbox Live, on NeoGAF, on GameTrailers and on Game Spectrum.

Farewell.
