Me on X-Play discussing exclusive reviews

Ben, just wanted to say I appreciate the effort going into this issue. I've been playing games for 20 years, and never looked at a game review before, partly because reviews do seem to be so self-serving. No offense to you or anyone else in the field, but it needs to be going up in quality, not down.
That's why I enjoy this blog so much, as it's not simply the masturbatory "hawt new screenshots" and "OMFG no multiplayer?!!?" and reviews posts. Thanks for that.
