The Pointlessness of Videogame Journalism (168 Words)

Trying to write in the way that David Jaffe wrote his post, I am writing this review very late at one o’clock in the morning. The review “The Pointlessness of Videogame Journalism” by Aaron McKenna brings forward some very good points about the state of videogames journalism today.

I thought that the review was well structured and makes a statement that games journalism is getting worse each day. His thoughts demonstrate that publishers of magazines and even websites are creating false hopes of a fantastic game with there previews only to detest the game once released.

Although some reviews and even previews if more that two sentences that is, are written well. But many of them still seem to be brown nosing to the game developers in order to gain exclusives to future games. But as for the state of current games journalism there is still a lot of improvements needed, before writers such as Aaron McKenna and David Jaffe begin to have faith in videogames journalism again.
