@38: Yes, Quakeulf you're probably right. Just one little magazine? Please? It doesn't seem so hard. That guy who said we need a Lester Bangs was dead on the money, except he was a little bit naive. But so am I. It's a shame the industry is so...I dunno. Centralized? There's not much place for indie developers or indie (print) media in the console scene.

Oh, for a perfect world...

I know I just used 'everything is measured' as an insult and then said 'give me something that measures'. I know what I meant.

Okay, so what? The seminal gaming magazine is at least moderately corrupt? Are we really surprised? Gaming media is pathetic, mostly. Everything is measured, nothing is analyzed. Is this better than that? Is it evolution or revolution? Give me a magazine that doesn't give me scores, but insight. That weighs and measures and doesn't spoon-feed me a definite answer.

I want perspective, I want critical thinking. I want fucking reviews, not someone telling me how to spend my money.
