How so, Fr0stm0rn. Please explain, as we sure feel this is a very important situation involving journalism credibility and so on.

Dont get me wrong, now I believe what you say is true. I mean I kind of get the feeling that we havent been told the truth based on some reviews if the case of him bieng let go because of a review he was honest about.

But I dont agree with some of you bashing on gamespot because of this incident. Asides from there contriversial reviews, Gamespot is a great place, where else can you watch E3 for free? Stream videos for free, download, do so much more for free. Create your unions, and alot more. The way I see it, if you arent happy here anymore, then IGN is just one browse away.

This is blown out of control...

I got some suggestions, Ive browsed some unions before and I notice alot of them have LAME articles. For example, dont use to many of the phrases you use with your pals on MSN or any messanger. Im talking about: LOL!!!!, OMFG!!! OMG:O11!!!one!!, these kind of phrases I mean. Dont use them on your articles... ESPEICALLY YOUR ARTICLE TITLES. It looks very unprofessional, im not saying that we should all be pros, hell im not even one. Im saying that you are trying to get people to join your union and be active, thats everyone goal. But if you act like a pre teen about to engage maturity, none will take you serious nor your union.

So be sure to have good resourceful articles, also check your grammer... To many mispelled words make you and your union look bad.

My other suggestion is, talk to the veterans. Im talking about Gamespot veteran users, these users who have been around for a long time or are very commited. These members are good to have around because they have alot of friends they can recommend, they are smarter with USING THE FORUMS then some other users. Veteran users know how to act and how to be active. Dont blow your chance in recruiting veteran members, veterans will take a peek and if they see your union looks like crap and your articles look retarded, they will not take you serious and decline. Thats why my first suggestion is important, thers not alot of talented photoshop users out there so alot of leaders have ugly logos. But some of these leaders have ugly logos but lots of active users simply because the articles they have are unique, and resourceful. None wants to read articles that really dont say anything but a bunch of words.. Know what I mean?

What bugs me is that there is tons of unions on gamespot all with the same concept and idea. System Wars, Wii, XBOX360, PS3, DS, PSP, All System, union are the most common. Whenever I get invited to one of these I normally decline because theres just tons of them. If you create a union, offer something different then other unions otherwise its just "another" union. News isnt enough ethier, somehow someway, the leader has to have some creative ideas. And nothing lame also, like Picture of the Week or Game of the Month.. Thats all been done before, this is why its getting harder and harder for some people to establish a union they want. Simply because there is to many of the one they want to create.

I first wanted to start a Wii union but after seeing about 100 Wii unions, I decided to let the idea go. Thats why I started TokyoGO! since im expereince in anime and most the anime unions I seen here on gamespot dont exactly cover much anime news, just certain animes. My union also covers more then just anime, covers also japanese news and figurine news.

For those of you who dont know or dont remember, click here for the wiki of Crystalis. You know, I honestly think this game has seriously been overlooked by MANY. This game was amazing on the Nintendo. It came out alittle late on the NES so I think that might of effected its awareness, but like I said, this game was really good. It had a good deep story to it, almost felt like Final Fantasy, exept it was an Action/RPG game. The reason I put this in the Wii forum section is because, Miyamoto mentioned new characters to the Nintendo verteran line up (or w/e). Well, I really think Nintendo should consider reviving this game. It was amazing then, it could be again if Nintendo listens.
