Truly Unbiased Reviews

Who better to do a fair, unbiased review of "The X-Play Insider's Guide to Gaming" than the fine people at... X-Play



Money quote: "Take it from us, 'The X-Play Insider’s Guide to Gaming' is an easy book to enjoy and an easy book to recommend. Come on, did you really think anything less? Now, go out and buy it!



Sure, it reads like a tongue-in-cheek press release, but the format is exactly the same as other reviews on the X-Play web site, right down to the 5-star rating. At least local news features about new network shows usually try to dig some news value out of it. This seems kind of gratuitous.



My copy of the book just got delivered today, and skimming through it looks decent. Actually, I just remember that it was shipped to me free of charge from the publisher, so let me ammend that and say that it's the BEST BOOK EVER OMG OMG BUY IT NOW! Expect more detailed gushing in this space soon.
