SamP's Emblems

  • Beta Tester

    After all, someone's got to do it. This person was one of the first to test out a new and major GameSpot-related feature, whether it was the GameSpot message boards, GameSpot community tools or our former game server service, GameCenter. This emblem denotes someone who fearlessly led a charge against the first few bugs of a pre-launched product.

  • GameSpot Staff

    Representing the few, the strong, the proud, and the sleepy. This unique insignia belongs only to those currently employed by GameSpot or, rather, by its parent company, CBS Interactive.
