I just saw this!
It's really too bad that he's leaving game journalism. I know he wasn't very popular in some circles due to his strong opinions on RE5, but I've always thought he was one of the most interesting, critically-aware game journalists in the industry.
His critiques of video games always seemed to come from more of an arts background than a design/technical background -- and both are needed in order to create worthwhile journalism for video games.
While I'm sad to see him leave his post at Newsweek, I can also see him doing a lot of great things by working with developers. Maybe in a more creative role, he will help make more artistically relevant, interesting video games.
