Lover of gaming, but lover of watching gamers game even more. Ready to finish undergrad and pursue what life has for me to take :) I'm laid back and really enjoy meeting others, especially those who share my passion for all things game related. Thank you for being you - because it let's me be me!

"I agree with your take on the situation with Amy. It highlights one of the core issues with games journalism: transparency. Now I can understand the producer holding information on a game for various reasons, but it also acts as a detriment to the developer; exposing a game's strengths and weaknesses to the public can only help the developer in the long run.

As far as the problem's persistence? That could be alleviated by journalists with their advocation to leave the game alone. If it doesn't have objectivity splashed on it, it doesn't deserve to be bought. I wrote an article which can be applied in regards to Amy:

The point being made is that inaction is also action. Reviewers should advoate that if a game is hidden for review, then gamers' money should be hidden until its content is properly deduced.

To make a true statement - one which publishers will hear - is to close off your wallet and leave the game on the shelf. I appreciate what you've done with this article. If I may, If the next step is taken (which is to dismiss the title until it gets its proprer assessment) publishers will take notice. The same trust which is given to reviewers should be meted back to readers to make the appropriate choice."
