Well I think a magazine like PSM has to be positive about games and accesories related to the PS3 .Its not a case of a game being 2/10 and them giving it 10/10 but of in case of different approach to evaluate a game take the optimistic one and see the bottle nearly full instead of bashing it for not being completely fulll .
Some Playstation mags and specially this one are recently letting themselves slide in the negative vibe surrounding the machine .Thing is ,that negative vibe has originated and breeds on xbox and nintendo webs ,blogs ,official magazines etc .If you run one PS mag or blog or whatever you must be optimistic and not assume the viewpoints of your rivals about "if the PS3 isnt twice as powerful as the 360 then it doesnt worth it because it is more expensive and each and every game must be reviewed taking that in count and if a port from the 360 has one texture worse in a second file charachter then I put the cry on the sky about the 360 version being better and the PS3 useless and devoid of sense " .
Being inmerse in the universe of the gaming websites and blogs is difficult to put things in perspective ,and maybe this guy just couldnt .If you keep things in perspective the PS3 has better games than the 360 last year ,it is a reliable and well constructed machine ,the online works about as good as the most optimistic expected ,the ports it is receiving are at least improving and some of the later (GRAW2 ,Colin DIRT ) are as good if not better than the 360 versions ,the sales if not gigantic are good enough to keep pace with the 360 ones even with the huge price ,there are exclusives coming ,Home coming ,etc etc .Great games as Warhawk and HS are being released ,etc etc .
If you are about to bash any Sony game because " it isnt the radical leap they promised us " or "this doesnt look as good as E32005 render " or " its framerate drops once in a section the 360 version doesnt " then you dont have any place in a Playstation centered mag .You should join Major Nelson at the MS blog ,but not drag a Playstation magazine into pessimism and overcritizing .You must say if a game is funny ,if it as good graphics ,if its long ,if the multiplayer works well enough .if the maniability is at the top ....and thats all .Not lying ,but not being so critic ...when a mag like Edge rates PS3 games better than PSM then you are into something about the editorial line of PSM .
