Just saw that Computer Gaming World/Games for Windows Magazine has finally ended their nearly 30-year long run . They'll be moving to the web, but it's startling for me to realize that this magazine (that I basically grew up with) is now a thing of the...
Been meaning to highlight a couple of other blogs I think you'd enjoy reading, especially if you're interested in the game industry. What I particularly like about both these blogs is that they're written by professional journalists, and bring...
Just hit the web . Wanted to highlight it as it's a great, non-technical summary of the current console war that really boils the current state down quite succintly (and accurately, in my opinion). Couple of quick quotes: If you or your loved ones...
Happened to see a link (and discussion) on Evil Avatar to a good editorial on game reviews by Jeff Gerstmann of Gamespot. Thought it was particularly interesting as recently a few folks have accused me of having a bias on anything I write. It's sort...
Obviously I did, and so here we are. My intent was (and is) to have a conversation with the games industry (including gamers themselves) and try to share my thoughts on where we're going, along with the positive and negative bumps we'll experience along...
I'm always fascinated (and frightened) by how easily the tone of a story can be changed with some selective quoting. Take one of today's stories, variants of which ran on both Joystiq and Next-gen's websites. Both sites used a Guardian Unlimited story...
... at least according to this article from Next-gen.biz. Remember my earlier opinions on game journalism and sites worth watching? This article is a great example of what Next-gen.biz can deliver. Kudos to Colin Campbell and Joe Keiser for a nice, methodical...
I wrote up a quick " review " of Prey back when I started it. Since I finished the single player game tonight, I wanted to follow up with some quick thoughts. Short form, enjoyed Prey a great deal. I particularly appreciated the Spirit World concept that...
I wrote some thoughts last week about problems with game journalism in this industry. In that article I pointed you to a great piece Chris Buffa of Gamedaily.com wrote, and I wanted to highlight that he's since then written a second follow-up article...
I've had some requests to have a way for folks to ask questions or email thoughts or articles to me, and I'm pleased to say that you can now send email to ozymandias@ozymandias.com . (Clever, no? All right... no.) I've also added this contact email to...
Remember my earlier post dissecting an alleged PS3 Rude Q&A? There’s just something about a finely honed - yet evasive - turn of phrase that sets the Spidey-sense tingling, and I’m getting that feeling all over again around the rumor of the Playstation...
Been mulling on this for a while (as have many other folks in the industry). Most recently I was reminded of the issue when reading an article from Joystiq where the author asked some tough questions of Sony's Phil Harrison and was allegedly rewarded...
