Neotokyo: Oscar Yasser Noriega’s Blog (Akira)

Today I was reading a very good post from my old friend Sam Kennedy, editor in chief of 1up.com. In his post, he touches very sensible subjects about journalism integrity after the terrible events from videogame website Gamespot.After being in the publishing business for 10 years (doing videogame, technology and music magazines), I can say that we are facing a very interesting phase in terms of how companies will handle the balance between editorial content and advertisement. Some people say this is not new, but the reality is different and it really makes me wonder about the future of traditional media like us and like many other media outlets. Many gaming blogs don’t even bother to put a score to a game anymore, instead of, they just focus on writing general reviews about the games. Is this the future of game reviews? did we come to the point where scores doesn’t mean anything to the users?. I think only time will tell..
