Claw said:I for one think Russ is completely right. It's virtually impossible not to take the job of a game reviewer too seriously.
I mean, who are we kidding? It's not like their existence makes any real difference. Doctor or architect or even cooking burgers, those are jobs with a real significance. You want someone who makes your burger take his job seriously. But game reviews? Whatever.
I disagree, I'd like games reviewers to take their jobs seriously - like BN does. I know that it may not be the largest or most important of issues in the world, but quality reviewing can make a big difference to dev studios, and (potentially) over the longer term the quality of games produced.
(oh, and your new avatar suck ass BTW Claw! )
