Last week I was invited to the Mercenaries 2 Community Day event that took place in LA, California at Pandemic Studios. After the event, I recorded a "Press VS Community" roundtable discussion featuring Deaconblade from (U360), Trina (Gamingangels), Vicious (Talkingaboutgames) & Ryan (Marvel).

This year 2008 has been a big challenge not only for GTR but the community in general. Why gaming companies are changing by not working with indy sites? Are there too many gaming podcasts & blogs? Is this "community" gone too commercial? Are we community or press?

Listen to what we all had to say on this roundtable & let us know your feedback.

Today Peterocc give us a full report from the Dead Space Community Day that took place this week in EA Redwood Shores. He starts an interview with the Creative Director - Bret Robbins. Also he records a community roundtable with Glen Schofield the Executive Producer for Dead Space.
