Musicals based on Phoenix Wright, fanboys, a Twitterview, and gamers hating GameStop...must be time for another Community Spotlight! We'll be touching on those topics, as well as hearing from Michael Bradley on his three problems with Uncharted 2. Wait, problems with Uncharted 2? That doesn't even make sense.


Phoenix Wright Musical 2 Review
By Richard Eisenbeis
Japan's Takarazuka Revue, an all-female theater troop, recently finished their run of the second Phoenix Wright Musical. You may be shocked by the news that there is not only a Phoenix Wright musical, but two of them. Richard delves into the world of Japanese musicals to analyze the success of musical adaptations of Capcom's popular adventure series, and to show how this could be the pinnacle of game adaptation.

 

Three Uncharted 2 Gripes
By Michael Bradley
How could there be flaws in Uncharted 2? This is blasphemy! OK, OK, maybe the game does have a few bugs here and there. Michael discusses the three gripes he has with Uncharted 2, and is completely spot-on about how strange everyone's eyes look. Seriously, the eyes are so shiny and weird.


A Radical Idea for GameStop Haters
By Frank Anderson
Frank grabbed me with his image from a deceased Game Crazy (my very first job was as a shift leader at the most isolated Game Crazy in the world, one that was gutted last week without much warning). I stayed for his message. Frank is tired of how predictable gamer rage towards game retailers has become. The worst part is that the people complaining hardly ever step up to change the policies they don't agree with. Frank outlines three easy steps to ease your frustration. That doesn't make up for how sad the Game Crazy pic is, however.


Musings of a Gamer: Fanboyism and Gamers
By Mike Gingras
Where there is a fanbase, there are fanboys. Mike realizes this, but finds himself at a loss when it comes to hating the opposition simply because it is the opposition. Are fanboys/girls a detriment to the gaming community? Decide after Mike makes his case.


A Twitterview with Jason Wilson
By Lance Darnell
The latest edition of the Twitterview has Lance shifting way from interviewing the community and onto the staff. Jason Wilson, Bitmob's amazing managing editor, faces the ostrich question with a smile.

Now that I am busy with school work (and Uncharted 2 :D) I love these spotlights, makes surfing Bitmob a lot easier!

@David: Before I started writing these, they were very helpful to me as well. I missed a lot when I worked all the crap shifts at Gamexchange.

Great job Jasmine! These spotlights are always cool because they aren't always just the "newest hottest" games. Those are there too but being old I like the older reviews too :)
