So I was developing in my head a big post about the current state of so-called New Games Journalism and the people who love it and the people who hate it and why I think each feels their respective way about it, when I surfed on over to Kieron Gillen's workblog. Kieron, you may remember, is the bloke who coined the term "New Games Journalism" a year ago today. In commemoration, he's posted a rather exhaustive analysis of the whole mess he created, which is much more relevant and interesting than anything I was attempting to compose.
Go read it. Now!
Sorry for the lack of updates of late. My computer died on me last Thursday (this is being written from my girlfriend's PC) and I used the implosion as an excuse to catch up on a few things I had to do... like sitting around doing nothing. Recently, I've been following the mainstream coverage of the stateside PSP release, which I've found pretty... varied, to say the least. Look for a summary judgment early next week.
