Honestly I'm getting sick of these self-righteous assholes who think they can stamp their approval or disapproval on anything and deem that law. Anyone now days can purchase a domain name and say their a reviewer but I'm really talking about actual journalists that have stepped up and declared that this is art because they said so. Its not really left up to the audience whether it is art or not.

What I'm talking about specifically is all the commotion around Braid. I've played Braid and I love it and will continue to play it. For me it is a work of art but I don't need fifty people to tell me that I don't have a choice in the matter. If its a piece of shit I'm going to think its a piece of shit and shouldn't be looked down on because I don't agree with these critics that have labeled it as some thing else.

This argument works both ways as well. If I think something is a piece of art and no one else does, well screw them I think its a piece of art but I'm not going to sit there and tell them that they are a lesser person for not thinking like me. And I'm not just talking about videogame critics but movie critics and anyone who thinks they can analyze something and get two people to listen to them.

However this pretentiousness has not yet flooded into the video game industry as of yet. And hopefully these guardians of our media will not allow this to happen to them. Right now videogame reviewers are either boring step by step robots or rabid fanboys who have been unwittenly given a forum to present their biased ideas to the masses.

Mostly this is due to the technology that we call the internet. Never before have two mediums been so intertwined as videogames and the internet. Both formats feed off each other where as movies, print media , and television have remained separate from each for the most part. Recently we see television trying to integrate with the internet a little more but still this is baby steps compared to videogames.

Movie critics are by the far the worse. But that's for here try http://scancase.blogspot.com/
