Gerstmann Lands With Giant Bomb

4:40AM Mark Wilson | The dust has finally settled for Jeff Gerstmann after the Gamespot controversy. He’s actually starting a new site called Giant Bomb. Essentially a review-heavy video game blog, Gerstmann promises his tech crew is building a “robust, feature-filled website…which we’ll use to talk about games. And energy drinks”. But Giant Bomb interface 1.0 isn’t too shabby. Hit it up and check out the first video in the behind-the-scenes series “How To Build A Bomb”. We snagged this still that looks like Luke Plunkett from 20 years in the future was wandering around in the background during Gerstmann’s filming. Future Luke, if you can read this, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Welcome to Giant Bomb (dot com) [Giant Bomb] More »

Ex-GameSpotters Gerstmann & Davis Try A New Podcast On For Size

2:30PM Luke Plunkett | The last thing the gaming world needs is more amateur gaming podcasts. Lucky for the newly-launched Arrow Pointing Down, then, that it’s not cobbled together by a couple of awkward teenagers using a $US 3 PC mic in their dad’s office. It is instead put together by former GameSpot staffers Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis, who in their former lives manned GameSpot’s podcast. The sound quality is God-awful thanks to a dodgy Skype connection, but still worth a listen if you’ve got some 90-odd minutes of doing nothing scheduled for later today.
