GameSpot Community Game Night History

GameSpot Community Game Night was founded by Kevin VanOrd in 2008. Since then, we've had the opportunity to determine who has the twitchiest trigger finger, the most effective strategy, or the fastest speed on the racetrack. These days we've revamped the way game nights work, so you'll want to visit GameSpot's Players Network to find new missions and get yourself on our Roster! And, if you have a steam account, drop by to see our new Steam Community! For the latest discussions around GSPN, visit the union.

We're in the process of archiving previous game night events to keep our history alive. Drop back to relive our memories!

@kassador As long as everything goes according to plan, 2:45 is when I'll be in there.

@The-Apostle We're starting at 3:00pm PT and will be going until I can't stay awake anymore (the goal is ending it around midnight)

@Synthia: Sweet, thanks. How long to these things usually last? Because I got work tomorrow so I'll be a couple hours late to the party.

Holy cow, an update! Ugh, and me without Mass Effect 3! :cry: Enough about me: Have fun, you guys!

@The-Apostle You can join in the chat room, we're not saying that you can't do it cross platform. The X360 is just what Jody and I will be playing on. But if you want to charge a PS3 team (or PC team) your totally welcome to!

I think I have Jody on my friends list...I might have someone else, but I can't remember :)

I wish they'd do it cross platform. I only have the game on PS3 and I'm not spending $60 on an emblem. As much as I suck at multiplayer, I'd still like the emblem. :(

Hey @Deoxys_57: Sophia mentioned in her feature that she'd have another one. I don't know when yet, but I'm sure her profile or the Minecraft Diary feature will keep everyone updated:

@Synthia - Thanks for the updates. Fortunately I'll be around for Mario Kart as well.

Synthia
Synthia moderator moderatorstaff

@Slider257: We decided Unreal 2004 due to the multi-player being easier to set up. We also made a change to the line up, since Forza 4 isn't going to be released until October 11th we'll be having a Mario Kart Wii Community Game Night instead.

Oh excellent, gotta love returning to a classic. @Synthia - when will you guys decide if we'll be playing Unreal 2004 or Unreal 3?

Synthia
Synthia moderator moderatorstaff

OMG CS and then UT are next? favorite game after favorite. If we need to pick one UT I pick UT2004 everyone should be able to run it and it's just more fun to me.

We removed Cars 2 at the request of Justin Calvert, the reviewer of the game.

JodyR

Alright peeps, we've traded Cars 2 with TF2 due to the free to play version and because we don't know if enough people will have the Cars 2 game in a couple of days.

@Synthia - So is the schedule subject to change if a game gets, say, a 3.0? ;)

@Gelugon_baat Quake 1 was released on June 22nd so it should be right. But the schedule says Duke Nukem on the 22nd too so I'm not sure.

Great! can't wait, but 4:00 Pacific Time doesn't help me very much to understand when it is. A count down clock would help us very much.
