It's Fourth of July weekend, which for a lot of Americans means fireworks, barbecues, and other types of rest and relaxation. It couldn't have come at a better time! People get a day off and a chance to reflect on this country's origins, its trials and tribulations, and so forth. As for us at GameSpot, we're dragged kicking and screaming from our offices by our parent company CNET's tough security personnel, who keep telling us that we have both Thursday and Friday off this week. The joke's on them--we can keep posting new content remotely, so expect to see new updates on GameSpot every day of the week this week, as always. Still, maybe we'll take this opportunity to catch a few rays. But not too many, because many of us will be hunkered down this long weekend playing through all the latest releases. So if you're like us, you're not going to be first in line to see yet another boring, old fireworks show.

　　But there's something to be said for fireworks, right? Which is why we're pleased to present you with GameSpot's very own Fourth of July fireworks festival--these are the kinds of fireworks we like to see, and we think you will too. Cheers!
