Welcome to GameSpotting, the only video game editorial powered by a 64-bit RISC processor. If you don't understand what that means, just trust us when we say that it's very, very cool. This week our editors discuss how the Nintendo DS is starting to win them over, how the Olympics could learn a thing or two from the World Cyber Games, and the perils of obsessive collecting, among other things. So slap in the cartridge, make sure you have plenty of AAA's for your rumble pack, and jump in!
