    Best of 2006

    Hey, great work guys. Looks good. Clearly well thought out. Wait a minute...Metroid Prime Hunters and Syphon Filter make the Top 5, but Oblivion doesn't? WHAT KIND OF NEW MATH ARE YOU PRACTICING? I take it all back. They were right all along, this website does suck. *weeps single...

    Over and out.

    Today's my last day at Game Revolution. God, that sounds weird. I think I said it better - or at least longer - here: Ben's Farewell Speech. So yeah, that's that. Editing GR has been the event of my life, and I thank all of you for digging what we do. Seriously, without you fine people...

    D&D fun?

    As the writer of both the blog about the Jack Thompson debacle on G4 and a pretty kick ass D&D book report from 1981, thanks for the kudos. I don't actually play much D&D these days, having stopped going at it hardcore a long time ago. I'm a big fan of the original set's modules: Tomb of...

    Will you guys go to the new E3?

    "Thrilled" would be the right word. E3 has been very broken for a very long time, and we've complained about it bitterly over and over again. (check out my kvetching from E3 2004 - http://www.gamerevolution.com/oldsite/a ... p/wrap.htm). It went from being a trade show in the strictest sense to...

    You guys seem to be reviewing somewhat obscure games

    Figured I'd ring in. Indeed, we missed Hitman. Eidos is a quirky company...they send us a pretty random smattering of product, and somehow Hitman never arrived. It happens, and as Duke mentioned, unless it's a monster title, we often let such things slide. Though I would point out that it's not...

    Ben!

    Yes! A great band. I like their early weird punk stuff more than the moody English Settlement, though. White Music, Go 2 and Drums & Wires teh rulez.

    Official Worst Video Game Names Thread

    World's Scariest Police Chases was a TV show. The best omission I've heard so far is Big Mutha Truckers. I'm sad we missed that one.

    The Gothic series

    Though I appreciate TNO's attempt to explain our review policy, it isn't exactly right. A great number of games are sent to GR each week, and we simply prioritize these based on a combination of popular interest, our personal interest and our current workload. We occasionally do spend cash to...

    so you guys still do reviews right?

    Our jobs also include things like getting the entire Goodies section back online, cranking out cheats, downloads and screens, and working maniacally on our Best of 2005 awards. Just saying. And indeed, we've got a few reviews set to run tomorrow, including DOA 4. Cheers, Ben

    Why did you put Mac in the retro section?

    LOL. Actually, it only migrated to the Retro section when the 360 launched, and that was purely a matter of nav button organization since we suddenly had to add one. When we get some time we might redesign that bar to allow for more buttons...

    Something you guys don't like about Lionhead?

    No one has anything against anyone. We don't get sent games from developers (well, very rarely) - the game came from publisher Activision, with whom we have a fine relationship. Our lack of a review simply boils down to the evils of the holiday rush, when every publisher figures they'd cash in...

    Something you guys don't like about Lionhead?

    Indeed, we're running The Movies review today. Teh yay! B&W 2 is a trickier beast, as we got it literally right in the middle of the console holiday flood. We still intend on publishing a review, but it's unfortunately been taking a lot longer than expected. No, we don't have anything against...

    Question on user reviews

    You mean this Tom? http://gr.bolt.com/review/pc/high_heat_baseball_1999 Boy, we've danced with greatness, haven't we? Your friend, Ben

    Disappointing...

    God this website sucks. Your initial post, however, is baffling. This redesign marks the third notable change in about 7 years, which is far, far lower than any other commercial site (which tend to redesign every two years). As for some sort of drop off in reviews, well, we've been more...
