"ood quick write up but a an glaring omission from this list is Crystal Castles.
They have some great lo-fi eleectronic tunes that make you feel like youre Mega-Busting some ass as you blast your way to Dr Wily himself.
They actually use an Atari 5400 sound chip in their equipment. Their song "Through the Hosiery" was featured in Saints Row 2. The band's self-titled debut album was included in the "Top 50 Greatest Albums of the Decade" by United Kingdom's popular music magazine NME, at numbe"

"should think about charging a fee for this service. I believe it would cut down on the quality of articles being submitted to you guys for your constructive criticism.
Plus, this seems like you guys are going beyond the call of duty for your readers and should be rewarded for it.
Thanks for your time, Mr Hsu!"

dude, you hit it right on the head. When the word "writing" is used in the industry, most people think of it in the literal sense and never in the philosophical sense of the word.
The word gets thrown around more often then a beach ball at a baseball game.
I also agree with the old 1up.com having a personality and that being a major point of why i enjoyed listening to them and reading their wo"

"gree with Evan Lahti. I read this article and thought it was horrible. But I feel you wasted your time Evan. Constructive criticism only goes so far before you just have to throw it away and start all over.
I believe the only way to clean up the Signal vs. Noise ratio is not to put out noise in the first place. Clean up the writing.
Teenagers should not be “Games Journalists” as much as they should not be writers for the LA Times. They do not have enough experience in critical thinking, reasoning or any kind of writing to be able to contribute any kind of signal to look for.
On that note, writing for Joystiq or Kotaku is not journalism.
Most aspiring Games Journalists do not even realize they are simply regurgitating industry news instead of articulating and expanding on their thoughts on a game.
A monkey can retype stories for clicks.
Schooling and experience makes you better writer. Period. I think its time we stop coddling these kids and start taking Video Game Journalism seriously.
Demian and Shoe, its ok to be heavy handed. You guys can make a great website but keep the 1up-ers or Joystiq-ers off of it! Promote the intelligent and insightful writers. I want to think. I want to discuss. I want to argue. So far, you guys are a great job of providing this.
Maybe even start charging a monthly fee to keep the enthusiasts off of this site. If I could pay to have you guys read my work and critique it to make me a better writer I would do it in a heart beat. I don’t even care about making it to the front page of the site.
Keep up the great work with the site, Demian.
Evan, you rock in the PCGamer mag and on Podcast. i never miss an issue or a '"
