On Videogame Journalism

Posted by michael on from the and-other-oxymorons dept.

Michael_Blessed writes "The most incisive critique of games journalism currently out there. I would say that as I participated, but there's some real illuminating stuff in there. And it's all true - I should know, being a games 'journalist' myself." It's a whole long series - read all 11 parts.

    It's an amazing piece of Stream of Conciousness. If you didn't make it to Chapter 3, he/she/they (not clear on that part) attempt to criticize writing styles. Or even better, complaining about other writers being "just a boring son of a bitch" or "You fill up your review with unsuccessful attempts at humor".

    How did this make the front page? And what's "incisive" about it? The definition is "Penetrating, clear, and sharp". I didn't read far enough to judge if it was penetrating, but it was neither clear nor sharp.
