85. Skull-Crackin'est...Neck-Crackin'est -NEW-
Let's GameSpot returns from its peaceful village lifestyle to reclaim the title as your favorite gaming review show. All challengers, including NBA Street V3, Gran Turismo 4, and Tekken 5, are no match for the ancient techniques of our powerful "Month in Review" style.

84. Read a Book
In the land of Oceania, Let's GameSpot rules with an iron fist, exercising control over all of your gaming information by filling your telescreen with Newspeak. Be you Resident Evil 4 not-zombie, talking Minish Cap, or even Mercenary for hire, Big Brother is watching. So do something!

83. A Year's Worth of Action Items
The Trivia Robot's Far Side calendar is looking mighty slim, and that can only mean one thing... It's time for the second annual Let's GameSpot Year in Review episode! This time out, the show's teaming up with GameSpot News and the Game of the Year Awards. So get in on the action!

82. Crazy Thanksgiving Video Game Burgoo
Sure, it's a Let's GameSpot Thanksgiving tradition, but are Jeff and the gang up to the challenge of stuffing three reviews, eight previews, some news headlines, a demo, and trivia into the fastest episode in show history? Last year's record stands at five minutes and eight seconds... Go!

81. Level 20 Rollergirl
With all of these new games, how can Let's GameSpot expect to keep pace with our online running crew? Master Chief is well on his way to becoming a Supreme Chief, Mario can already serve 120mph, and Jak has learned how to fly! Maybe we can squeeze in a couple of hours before dinner...

80. Hiding in Canada
Boo! It's the Halloween edition of Let's GameSpot, and everybody's in costume and running for the border! Don't worry; we're leaving behind reviews of GTA: San Andreas and DOA Ultimate, plus a list of the most frightfully bad games of the last 12 months. Now that's scary!

79. John Moschitta Jr.
Let's GameSpot may not be home to the fastest talking man in the world, but we'll try our best to review three games including Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, preview two weeks worth of new releases, and cram your mind full of news, downloads, and trivia all in one breath!

78. No Fate But What You Make
Let's GameSpot is always looking to the future. Be it hip hop fighters from Def Jam: Fight for NY or Rome: Total War's battle-ready elephants, we are always on the cutting edge of military technology. Now, before we get started, we need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

77. These Hands Weren't Made From Thimbles
Let's GameSpot's all about domestic skills, but sewing? That's better left to the good folk in The Sims 2 and Fable. Instead, allow us to weave together a visual tapestry of top headlines and a slew of new releases, complete with a rad Trivia Robot patch. Look Ma, no calluses!

76. Fantasy Knives
Welcome to the Let's GameSpot Shopping Network! This week we're featuring some great burning wrecks from Burnout 3: Takedown, sealed wax packs of Pokemon, and some handy locks and chains from Silent Hill 4: The Room. Call now to get free shipping!

75. After School Program
Ah, September. Everybody's heading back to school, worrying about homework, cafeteria food, and the biggest raft of new releases in three months!?! That's just not nice. How are you supposed to pretend to concentrate on college apps with so many great new games around?

74. Virtual County Fair Food
As the gaming industry expands, it seems every niche of human existence has been converted into pixels. Sure, there's Dog's Life and Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, but where's our self-shadowed corn dogs, our bump-mapped funnel cakes, and our Havok-powered cotton candy? Hello?

73. Horrible Insurance Liabilities
Give Let's GameSpot a badge and small business owners go running. We're talking brazen buddy-cop-movie-style bedlam, complete with Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Ghosthunter, and the requisite car explosions provided by Burnout 3. We'll get the bad guys, and you file the paperwork. Got it?

72. Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart!
It takes a lot to make a great team. And it takes even more to make a great team a championship team. That's why we here at Let's GameSpot are pulling together every element at our command to bring you Madden NFL 2005, Doom 3, and more. Now buy a luxury box!

71. Set your Ray Guns to Robot Death!
With Doom 3 finally in the hands of gamers everywhere, the youth of today will be staying indoors this summer, being cooled off by the many fans inside their fancy computers. Scary demons not your cup of tea? We've got much more on this tall drink of water we call Let's GameSpot!

70. Ham is to be Feared and Respected
When comparing cute, fuzzy animals named after cold cuts, there is none mightier than the hamster. Therefore, it is Let's GameSpot's civic duty to bring you word on that epic competition of Mesocricetus auratus, Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games. Plus, Sudeki, ESPN NFL 2K5, and bees!

69. Lonely is the Night
Sometimes, when you find yourself alone, your demons come to light, and your mind is not your own. It's ours. Don't worry, we're going to fill it with good things like NCAA Football 2005 and Karaoke Revolution Volume 2. Then you can have your mind back. Dude.

68. Three Solid Days by the Pool
Ah the long weekends. There's nothing like an extra day off spent with the ones you love, be they mana-mooching worlds, online RPGs, or a garage full of leftover fireworks. Join a refreshed Jeff and the gang for the midsummer classic we call Let's GameSpot!

67. Your Grandma's Car
If your life follows the pattern of Let's GameSpot's, your first car was a two-door clunker handed down from your mom's mom. Sure, it may have been an unsafe death trap that smelled like Wally Tusket, but it was good enough for Spider-Man to throw at Doctor Octopus, right? Wait, what?

66. Harry Potter and the Huge Nerds
While everybody swarms the theaters for the summer movie season, Let's GameSpot is kicking back with our summer reading list: Cooking with Pyrokinesis, Wanzers for Dummies, and a copy of the sixth Harry Potter book. But you don't have to take our word for it!

65. Black and Orange
Graduation is upon us and we're swimming with school spirit here at Let's GameSpot. So sign our yearbook right under the four Links and remember the words of valedictorian Richard B. Riddick: "I took the one less traveled by, then I shivved everybody."

64. Subtitled in Korean
At long last Let's GameSpot is back! With games like Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Thief: Deadly Shadows, plus a full wrap-up of E3 2004 with Greg Kasavin, your favorite show on gaming is representing from here to Seoul. Nice!

63. Totally China!
The countdown to E3 has begun, and Let's GameSpot is going to take a little time off to practice not sleeping. By the looks of this episode, we may need a little more training. Watch the gang get loopy with trivia, rumors, montages, and a catchy ringtone!

62. Best Hairstyle in the League
So maybe we spend more time in front of the mirror than we do in the gym. It's not like the fans are complaining. Watch us tear through Fight Night 2004, NBA Ballers, and a slew of baseball games while maintaining perfect balance with the 'do. Don't touch the hair!

61. Bustin' Chiffarobes
It's rough livin' on the Let's GameSpot farm. There are Resident Evil zombies in the corn, a giant wall of sandwiches to maintain, and William Hung's singing to contend with here. Also, Death Jr.'s underfoot and won't shut up about acronyms like GDC, XNA, or ASB 05.

60. Man of Science
Come relax on Let's GameSpot's private island for evil geniuses with Far Cry's Krieger, Pandora Tomorrow's Suhadi Sadano, and Pitfall's giant scorpion! Seasonal workshops cover Shadow Pokemon, the PS2 hard drive, and running to the left. Space is limited, so call today!

59. Gone the Way of Colonel Kurtz
Let's GameSpot takes you deep into the jungle to dispatch rogue officers Battlefield Vietnam and Unreal Tournament 2004. Be alert, for they are protected by a crack team of WWE superstars, a feral parking meter, and Alex doing his best "confused Dennis Hopper" impression yet.

58. What if it Snowed in San Francisco?
Man, this weather's nice. But what if it wasn't? If video games teach us anything, cold temperatures mean nuclear-weapon wielding mechanical Godzilla things around every corner, and we're fresh out of Nikita missiles. Maybe we're better off with sunny skies and monstrous outfielders.

57. Talking to Girls
It's like junior high angst all over again. Is Jeff too deep for LifeLine's Kristen Miller? Who will Elisha Cuthbert take to the dance, Tim or Tor? Does Rich stand a chance with any of the girls from Mortal Kombat: Deception? We're guessing yes, neither, and no.

56. Michael Jackson the Robot the Flying Car
Catch a shooting star with Winning Eleven 7, Jason Giambi, and the King of Pop. After you transform into a mechanical levitating automobile and save the children from Joe Pesci, sit everyone down for another Bad episode of Let's GameSpot!

55. Wave of the Future
Learn about tomorrow today at the Let's GameSpot Trade Show of Yet to Come! Featured booths include James Bond's nanobots, Optimus Prime's unhealthy desire for Minicons, and a look back at the history of SNK.

54. So Many Elves and Me With No Cookies
Who's that in the kitchen with Jeff? It looks like Samus, some Champions of Norrath, Solid Snake, a news Viking, and Brad holding a bucket over his head! I hope they're not beating up another poor refrigerator!

53. Fake Passports
The show goes clandestine with the sought-after final edition of R-Type stashed in a briefcase with Tribes: Vengeance, Fight Night 2004, and a cache of Capcom titles. Remember your training, and we'll all make it out of this alive!

52. Beard Race 2004
Primary fever has swept Let's GameSpot! Cast your vote for: a preview of Breakdown, a review of Silent Storm, or Brad Shoemaker's face-mane. Better yet, watch Oregon Trail run uncontested as one of the greatest games of all time!

51. Dirty Half-Dozen
Like a goldfish that's been moved to a bigger bowl, the show is slowly growing into its new studio. Join us in our plastic castle, along with Maximo, James Bond, Michael Madsen, and a new segment called GameSpot Live's Now Playing.

50. Life Begins at 50
Yes, it's another cheap milestone for the show. But who's complaining? Especially when you get to see a review of NFL Street, coverage of Konami Gamers' Day, and a plug for this very page!

49. Power Bottle
Before you run off with your new friend 2004, take a look back at 2003 with this very special episode of Let's GameSpot.

It's the holiday edition of Let's GameSpot, and Jeff brings good tidings in the form of The Sims Bustin' Out, five rocking Game of the Month montages, and the Trivia Robot in antlers.

47. Cake and Ice Cream
Celebrate Let's GameSpot's first birthday with The King of Fighters 2000/2001, a look back at Marble Madness, and the aforementioned cake and ice cream. You remembered to bring a present, right?

46. Less of R.G. Armstrong
Never mind Armed and Dangerous, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, or Greg's review of Deus Ex: Invisible War. It's the return of Kumauta! Run!

45. Gravy Train
Can Jeff cover three new games, two reviews, news, and trivia in under five minutes and get to Thanksgiving on time? He's sure gonna try!

Developers are filling store shelves for the holiday season, and Jeff's got both Mario and Luigi, as well as Need for Speed Underground, Counter-Strike for the Xbox, a little bit of Final Fantasy X-2, and an unexpected attack from the Trivia Robeast.

43. That's Two 1080 California Rolls
Only the Yasutoko brothers could match the excitement brought by reviews of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Fire Emblem, previews of Beyond Good & Evil and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and a first look at GameSpot DLX.

42. Roll out for Iacon!
Imagine emerging from a sugar-induced coma to a downpour of colons like The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs, True Crime: Streets of LA, and EyeToy: Play. Imagine no more--it's all in here!

41. La Robusteza de Trivia y Lucha, Tambien

ESPN NFL Football hits the shelves, and Andrew Park stops by to talk about the new demo for Call of Duty. Also, GameSpot Live shares pictures from ECTS in London and from an Acclaim event in LA, then elects Tim Tracy to the Let's GameSpot News Desk.

34. Admiration of the Proletariat
A full plate of new releases, including Soul Calibur II and F-Zero GX, leads into a preview of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, GameSpot's trip to Mexico, and Giancarlo's unfortunate demise at the hands (eyes?) of the Let's GameSpot Trivia Robot.
