It's not paid as much as its given fancy parties and cushy junkets and sponsorship deals, it's pretty well documented like the Kane & Lynch 2 fiasco. Hell even Hyper did a piece on it back in the day.

Yep, this is an awesome example:

You can't tell me that game journalism/news sites is not 'influenced' by sponsorship.

Me too I am surprised that 3 adults of what I assume to be reasonable intelligence did not realize how bad it is to criticize a reviewer who gave an 'alright' review for a game while being decked out in free merchandise from the publisher.

I am ready to play it with the Steam Controller! There is no greater test of quick mouse reactions without it!

It would be funny however if it had a 'Ctrl, Alt, Space and Arrow keys' set up

I hope DOOM is on par with New Order, love seeing classic FPS updated well.

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but how did you find all that info? I'm interested to find out how many hours, and how much I've spent over the years.

When they get given free shit all the time, i'm quite sure it goes to their heads.

Rooster Teeth are not journalist, they are clearly paid to advertise games. Game Informer always protest their innocence but they are clearly not journalist either being owned by Gamestop (Gamestop is known as EB Games in Australia).

Giant Bomb, Gamespot, IGN, the now defunct Game Trailers and Polygon are are real journalist and not paid off by publishers for reviews. Do not confuse ads for journalism.

The reason for Gerstmann-gate back in the day was the firewall between the ad sales people and the journalist, which every journalistic organisation has in place, broke down and ad sales people were able to get the journalist punished, which in Jeff's case resulted in his firing since he was EiC.

Now lets never bring up ethics in journalism again please.

On a lighter note. Anyone ever use a "gaming" mouse pad? I need a new mouse pad and want something better than a square piece of wetsuit material.
