Today it’s official though, the new Giant Bomb website is going to be everything that people loved about the “old” Gamespot…as the team has welcomed two more Gamespot alumni into the fold. Announced today on the Giant Bombcast, ex-Gamespot employees Brad Shoemaker and Vinny Caravella are official Giant Bomb editors. For anyone that loved the Gamespot of old, this is awesome news. It’s great to see Jeff and Ryan stick it to the corporate dogs that destroyed Gamespot’s integrity and alienated all of its fans. Thanks to some bold resignations and a willingness to risk striking out on their own, these ex-Gamespotters have earned the freedom to talk about video games however they want. The real winners in all this are undoubtedly the readers who have the opportunity to get honest opinions and commentary from editors who have made a stand for journalistic integrity.

To hear the announcement check out the latest Giant Bombcast…it’s always worth a listen!
