I hate this website


So I was reading Kotaku a few months ago and they linked to this website written by a guy who may or may not be british.
The first thing I notice and the only thing I actually like about the website is the fact that the layout is superb, It's a video game review site that's actually pleasing to look at (I'm looking at you, 1up)
The other thing I noticed immediately is the horrible quality of the writing. The writer(s?)
All have the same generic snarky and narcissistic holier-then-thou attitude that seems to permeate most of the blogosphere now.
I sort of dismissed it when I was reading through one of the reviews, but I couldn't really exactly tell what he was talking about in the review in question from the constant run on sentences and convoluted language. It almost seemed liked the people running the website don't actually enjoy playing videogames (much less writing about them!)

New games

The general consensus from game related news outlets and the people that so passionately follow their every single word, is that Grand Theft Auto IV is fantastic, so is Crisis Core, and The World Ends With You

There is a slight problem here, one, being that people like me wont be able to play these games for months. I guess it comes down to me being too lazy to get a job, or find decent work around here.

Point is! Most massive media outlets don't take into consideration the piss poor gamer that's left either suffering with utter crap from the bargain bin or old classics. It's reaching a point when just about everyone in the world has played the old classics, so I guess I've finally started turning to freeware. I wouldn't really consider it 'desperate' because I discovered recently that free games are often better then commercial ones.
I usually try to come out with some point in this posts, but really I'm just mad that I can't play Crisis Core
