Is There Really A Need for Serious Gaming Journalism?

I rarely seen any.

All I see is graduates from the "school of fanboy" or people that couldn't possibly make it in real journalism... poorly researched, badly presented and sensationalist.  Usually kids with a chip on their shoulder.  The main problem is that this is mostly an internet based industry and therefore getting hits is the main driver.

If I have offended anyone here that writes articles... I dont care.

I read an "article" just the other day on the sister site to here and it was absolute biased garbage dresed up as a serious and objective comment.  Another thing that bugs me, opinion pieces (usually biased) dressed up as articles of fact.....  just cut out all the preamble crap and post your final paragraph, thats all you wanted to say anyway.

Gaming journalism is on the same level as blogging in the main and often even lower.

Coming from one of the more vocal and biased people on the message board... Though u do bring up valid points from tome to time i normally skip over your comments
