"I don't read Dtoid very often, but it seems to me that Jim Sterling and others (but especially Sterling) pride themselves on the fact that they are NOT journalists.
Rob, I completely understand where you're coming from. However, if Sterling took a look at this article, he'd probably just make fun of it. Maybe the real problem is that gamers don't really care about the integrity of the journalism, but rather the opportunity to subscribe to a cult of personality. Sterling, as a blogger, is extremely successful in his ability to serve content to a massive, like-minded audience, and he is rewarded for this. Is he a journalist? No, and he knows this. That's not the image he's trying to sell."

[quote]I think that the score has no place in the piece. It snaps the reader away from your drawing personal narrative and back to a completely impersonal quantitative system.[/quote]
The score at the bottom did bug me at first, but really, that score is the only thing reminding readers that this is a review and not just a memoir. Though, I also agree that a numerical value on a game is meaningless and occasionally inane.
To Derrick, try replacing that score with some kind of pithy encapsulation of your thesis. It'll emphasize your great writing even mo"

You're right! I just watched the Destructoid reaction video (http://tinyurl.com/265nvbm) based on your recommendation, and it seems that Sterling is possibly more passionate about video games and anti-pulbic-relations-shilling than any other games journalist I can name off the top of my head. Luke Smith comes close to that fever pitch, as he was very vocal about his problems with the game journo business and PR relations."
