The 5 Problems with Videogame Journalism

Firingsquad.com has an insightful piece on five things that are wrong with videogame journalism today.
In the last year, a lot has been said about videogame journalism and the problems of the field. There is a belief that gaming reviewers play into the hands of the marketing machine instead of being actual critics who can help to improve the quality of the content such as is the case with the film and music industry. One fundamental problem is that reviewers never get the chance to experience the game the same way you do.
A good read.
