Welcome to GameSpotting, where the future is now! This week we come packing a full 100Mega Shock of editorial commentary, and though we're not quite ready to proclaim ourselves Game Lords, we're comfortable with both talking about our recent sojourn to the Tokyo Game Show and sharing our personal thoughts on the PSP, the DS, GT4, and other cryptic acronyms. We encourage you to post your thoughts on a particular column in the comments area, or if you have your own tangent that you'd like to go off on, start posting in your own journal today, and you just might become our next GuestSpotter!
