"The saddest thing is watching Koji Igarashi on the E3 show floor, hovering around the Castlevania Judgment kiosk for half an hour, knowing that everyone hates it, knowing that he knows they hate it, then realizing that it's not the game he really wanted to make anyway because his publisher won't give him two dimes to rub together to develop the really awesome games he does want to create."

Wow. This has to be one of the most arrogant, presumptuous and obnoxious things I've ever read from a gaming 'journalist' and I've seen a lot of them. Where does this clown get off presuming what he thinks, feels, etc.? Does he have some window to the man's soul? Or is it more likely that he's projecting his feelings onto the situation, reading his own beliefs and biases into Igarashi's?

If you want a good example ofwhat is wrong with journalism today (and not just the laughable gaming variety) you could do a lot worse than this sickening display.

Just wanted to make sure everyone read this.
