Weekly Wrap-Up: Holiday Hangover-March 2024

Mar 19, 2025 7:52 AM

Announcements

The festive lights have been taken down, wrapping paper carefully recycled, and eyes are sunken and dark after pouring hours of time into the recently obtained games over the holidays. Time to get back to work.

　　Field Trip - Kicking things off right, we see Jody Robinson report on some nifty things that are going on in the gaming community in this week's GameSpot Field Trip. We line up single file with permission slips signed to check out and see what is up with Capcom, Blizzard, NCsoft and more.

　　Capcom Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Tournament (Recap) - Before the holidays, GameSpot played host to Capcom's Resident Evil event at our home office in San Francisco, CA. To check out how things went down, simply click on this link here.

Tip of the Week

View your profile to see if it looks out of date. We have a checklist for you to start the new year!

　　1) When was the last time you posted a blog? Make a new blog.

　　2) When was the last time you posted a user review? Write a review!

　　3) When did you add your avatar or profile banner? If it was more than three years ago, swap it out!

　　4) How old is your forum signature? If you're talking about something that happened from the days of yore, replace it.

　　5) Track other people's tracked users! Spend some time to see who your friends are tracking and track that user if you enjoy his or her blogs.
