We here at Giant Bomb and Whiskey Media have been hard at work on this site for some time now, and we're happy to finally share all this stuff with you.

So what, exactly, is Giant Bomb? That's a good question. it's a lot of things..."

1.1 - More newsworthy than some of the blue ray crap approved here
How is the launch of a games site by a bunch of respected internet celebs not news that gamers would want to know.

Im signing up to their community. The bombcast is awesome and jeff and ryan have good chemistry on air. I wish them the best.

2 - Couldn't agree more
I've been following this site for a long while now and whilst I expected great things, the site has far exceeded my expectations.

The community features and databases are amazing and completely unprecedented in scope within gaming journalism.

Big thumbs up to Gerstmann and the Giant Bomb gang who had the cojones to pursue a new venture which has already rewritten the rule of gaming journalism in it's short life. The wiki editor and databases are phenomenal.

:)

5.1 - Errr what's with the hate?
First off I'm neither... although if a position is vacant feel free to contact me (wink, wink, nudge, nudge...)!

I'm just praising the site for it's innovations over others. It's essentially taken Google, Facebook, Wikipedia and IGN and created a c*cktail of gaming goodness! (how was that? do I get the job?)

An advertisement? Yep, but so is every other piece of news labeled with a site's name.

News worthy? Yep, Jeff Gertsmann casts a significant shadow over gaming journalism in general, so anything he does within that field is relevant. Add the fact that the site is introducing a whole set of features that other gaming site's have not implemented on such a fully featured scope... And it's "News 4 Gamers" everywhere that there's a new place in town that's worth "the trouble" of checking out!

(How was that? Did I get the job? Or just another disagree? lol)

Peace. :)

Bland efforts, bland site, awesome profile system though.

Then again---I might as well just go to 1UP. Seriously.

I'm sure the site is fine, but posting the launch of such as a site as news is very tenuous and I don't believe its newsworthy.

by all means post links to the story's it publishes, but I don't want N$G clogged up with news of site launch. theres enough dreadful submissions getting through the system as it is without allowing blatant advertising.

Regrettably I shall be reporting it, as I don't believe this is a valid story.

Oh, cool. Didn't realize that they had launched. I really love their podcast and their videos...Kinda nice to hear journalists talking about GAMES without poisoning the discussion with platform hate.

Now that I look at it, the site is quite impressive, too. :)

9 - I ws never a fan of Jeff Gerstmann's work.
Not sure if Gamespot encouraged this or if his work just never was good to me. Either way, I have no need to go to this site. I don't feel I'm missing anything.

I think I might sign up just for the fact that it might be the place where fanboys will not mess with and Jeff Gerstmann has a good view on games. I remember being a hardcore Gamespot member for 2 years and left.
