Community Updates

GameSpot Download Manager Removed

In an effort to streamline our download experience, we are discontinuing the GameSpot Download Manager as of October 08. We're constantly reviewing the performance of GameSpot site features and in recent months the Download Manager has not shown the consistency or reliability we expect from our site.

Total Access subscribers will continue to see unlimited high-speed downloads via our direct download links. Additionally, by the end of 2008, we expect to roll out a major upgrade to our download server infrastructure to improve the consistency of GameSpot's download speeds.

Other Announcements

Last year's Brain Bust trivia challenge was a big success among the members of the community. Many U.S. members who have never participated in tournaments before finally gave it a try for the first time. We have decided to bring back Brain Bust this year and it is going to be centered around a game series that many of you either love or hate.

For the past few weeks we've been in the process of gathering hundreds of questions and answers for the latest challenge that will shoot your socks off (picture that for a few seconds; no, seriously). With the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto IV, BestBuy has pulled together with us for Brain Bust II! Registration goes live this Wednesday, April 16th at 4pm PT.

Eligibility requirements include a U.S. resident, 18 years or older and a Total Access subscription. The top two players will receive a trip to San Francisco to complete in a live Tournament TV broadcast. The champion will receive a $1,000 Best Buy gift card.

To get prepared, the only suggestion I can make is to start digging around for the Grand Theft series on GameSpot. We'll post more tips on the Brain Bust II challenge page as soon as they become available.

    Too bad it's for US residents, total acess members with more then 18 years old... I don't fit in any of these conditions

    I know I am going to fail horribly, as I suck at trivia, but I'm in!
