Remembering Gamespy...

...back when it was actually good, before IGN.

I didn't even realise Fargo had left, it's been that bad.

Anyhow, nice retrospective: http://www.gamespy.com/articles/952/952145p1.html

Gamespy is the place where i first started reading PvP, Penny Arcade and that webcomic with the webmonkey who's name escapes me atm. Also the first forum i joined was hosted by them too...

Now even all their reviews are boring...

Yeah, Gamespy used to be great. But then IGN sniped most of it's advertisers and they couldn't afford to keep the good writers, so most of them left and this is the result. So now the only guy left who associates with Gamespy who has any amount of talent is the guy who does Nodwick and PS238.

I like Ryan Scott, but a lot of that is carryover from the days of GFW.
