Happy New Years! This year marked several changes to our society and the way we look at things. People we know move on, while others move away. All we take with us is the knowledge that we start anew in 2008. Remember your most cherished possessions are the ones taken for granted. Keep your New Years merry! Here is to a great 2008, cheers.

Unbiased or paid for reviews?

The firing of a 10 year veteran of a specific gaming website only quantifies what is already known. The editing department is dead and has long been replaced by the marketing department. The sponsor in questions pulled their lucrative advertising campaign which got one of the reviews fired. If you “inadequately” (notice I didn’t say unprofessionally) review a sponsors product or service, you might find yourself unemployed. The person was uncerimoniously let go even with 10 years of loyalty and decent work. The next time you read a game review check around the margins of the page, if the sponsors are advertising it, take the review with a grain of salt.
