  • Just Cause 2 Demo - Extended Cut!

    • Posted Feb 3, 2010 7:56 pm GMT
    • By Dan Mihoerck

  • Journey Into Adventure

    Some of the stuff we try out doesn't seem to work. Here's a recent example.

  • BattleStar TOTS: 2010

    With the new season of TOTS already underway, it looks like 2010 is going to be another great year for games. With games like Army of Two: 40th Day, Mass Effect 2, Dark Void Zero, MAG, and BioShock 2 all coming out in the first two months in 2010, it's a great way to start the year. It may be an expensive start, but it's a great start nonetheless.

  • GameSpot's New Video Player

    • Posted Nov 20, 2009 8:53 pm GMT
    • By Staff

    Last week we rolled out a major update to our video player. In fact, we rebuilt it from the ground up. Here are some of the improvements and changes we've recently made.

    Bigger Is Better: We've increased the size of our standard videos from 480px wide to 640px wide. In addition, this means we've opened up the 700k bitrate to all users.

    Cleaner HD: The HD button now expands the player on the page, rather than reloading the entire page. This will get you back and forth between our two player sizes that much more quickly.

    Larger Toolbar: We've made our user-interaction toolbar larger and moved it to beneath the player, as well as increased the size of the buttons and icons. Plus, we've added a new Twitter button for those of you who are into that sort of thing.

    More Menu Options: Our Advanced Options menu will give you full control over customizing your video experience. We offer five different bitrates now and three different streaming options. You can read more about all of it in our new FAQ. Plus, we've added a new player icon to let you know what bitrate you're watching at all times.

    Bigger Embedded Video: We've increased the size of our embedded video player, as well as included an option to grab an extra-large 640px wide player. Both of these players can be grabbed from the Embed menu.

    Cleaner GameSpot Integration: We've cleaned up wherever you see the player embedded into our own stories and articles. We've removed the advertisement that sat beneath the player, thus decreasing the overall height of the area.

    Behind the Scenes: We're now operating off of Flash Player 10, the most recent and robust version of Adobe's ubiquitous media software.

    We're committed to bringing you the best video quality possible in the best viewing experience possible, and we've got some other plans down the road that we're excited about. Of course we know our work will never be done (we're working on fixing a nagging issue for Chrome browsers right now), so keep giving us your feedback.

  • Modern Warfare 2 Game Launch

    Earlier this week Ryan Mac Donald was throwing his hands up in the air with anticipation for the release of Modern Warfare 2. His anticipation was so overwhelming that he posted three videos in his blog. The pre-launch video has a quick comparison about real guns. The game launch video shows what went down at the GameStop store located in downtown San Francisco.

    Lastly, there is also an aftermath video in which Homer Rabara and Ryan Mac Donald share their reactions to the night-vision goggles that were included in the Prestige edition of Modern Warfare 2.

    Be sure to drop by the Producer's Note blog for other news related to the GameSpot video production staff.
  • Latest Video Features

    There are a few features you might have missed recently. Let us know what you think and if you would like to see more of them!

    Sophia Tong invaded Chow.com's kitchen to test the culinary pros in Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked. The feature displays a comparison on how real this game is compared to cooking in real time. Be sure to share this feature with any of your culinary friends!

    In honor of the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, we had to relive our favorite moments from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

    GameSpot often has games we play so much that it ruins our social lives. The 10 games in this feature scare us because we love them so much. Nothing else seems to matter when we're playing them.

    Additionally, if you did not get a chance to watch GameSpot's Zombie Squad film trailer, it's a fun skit about two guys just trying to make it.
  • BioShock 2 character details

    Our recent interview with Jordan Thomas for BioShock 2 yielded these two excerpts, where he described two non-player characters that you will meet in BioShock 2. There were no assets to go along with these, and their inclusion would have made the final video quite lengthy, but we just thought they were too interesting not to post at all.

    Creative director Jordan Thomas details two new non-player characters from BioShock 2.

  • Now Playing: Brutal Legend Update

    • Posted Oct 12, 2009 9:28 pm GMT
    • By JodyR
    Last Friday's one hour game play marathon for Brutal Legend was well received; Tim Schafer and Erik Robson from Double fine dropped by to talk about the game. What was even more exciting those who had a chance to win a Brutal Legend figure based on participating in the trivia. We'd like to give a shout out to Jaes Overley and Jeremy Magobet for answering the question accurately in a timely manner.
