I don't mind biased review outlets that are open and honest about their bias. PSM, Nintendo Power, and the old SEGA Visions are examples of these. They're biased, but they don't pretend to be anything else, so you can account for that bias yourself.

What bothers me are the review outlets that pretend to be unbiased. There are no truly unbiased outlets -that's just a consequence of reviewers being human- but when they pretend to be, they take a valuable tool away from their audience: skepticism. Reviewers should drop the pretense, come clean about where their biases lie, and let life go on.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
