When you fail to access gamespot what message does IE show ?
Most importantly, is it always the same message ?
If you haven't been there for the last month or so you may not know that the site has had a complete makeover, which could be the source of your trouble.
Even if you haven't changed settings the ones you used previously, disable all Acitve X for example, could be causing you trouble now.

What do you get when you go to the site? Anything loading or viewable? The site uses cookies and from what I see so far flash/shockwave so your security settings need to have active x enabled (just set everything to high to test with) and clear your cache (delete cookies and delete files, including offline files, just for the hell of it).

Odd... I swear pam123's post wasn't there even 5 minutes ago but the timestamp says "06-06-2004 02:16 AM"...
