And then go and complain about profesional reviews (that are usually written a little nicer than the damning overreaction) as if they have any real reason to do so, and STILL actually be thought of HIGHLY by the very same sort of people they love to shit on week after week after week. That would be some interesting reading for once.

It appears you’re not the only game journa… writer to comment on The Escapist piece, though I will admit I appreciate yours much more.

You might be the person to ask, Dan, and this might be a good time to ask it - what's exactly is "New Games Journalism."

He's not complaining about its stance in comparison to his own, he's complaining about how it bemoans things it just praised. It seems to me more that he finds the review contradictory of itself.
