In better news: Christian Donlan has been made a senior staff writer at Eurogamer and will be doing more editorial pieces.
The ongoing inquest into games journalism has made me question how much notice is actually taken of reviews beyond a desire to trash them for scoring over/under expectations or matching enthusiasm.
I personally can't think of the last time a review actually changed my opinion on whether to buy a game or not so a slight shift in focus for Eurogamer seems like a good thing to me.
