Right. Gotcha. I was not entirely aware of that as I don't have anyone to play board games with. Nice one Dave. Making me feel so alone and sad again.

Was given a copy of Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma to review. Have actually emailed the publisher and asked if they wanted me to publish as the game is awful. Music and voice acting is good but the rest... blergh! How could they get it so wrong?!

I dislike it from the soundtrack alone.

Does it matter how I write the truth?

Started playing Shadow Of Mordor. Seems pretty decent, it's definitely borrowing very heavily from Assassin's Creed and Arkham, though.

I would have to disagree on the voice acting. I think it's shocking as well

Why so? I obviously didn't word it to him like that but I thought they would like the option.

Why would you ask for a publisher's consent to post a negative review of their game? It's your review.

They also sent you the game specifically for you to review it, I'm sure they're well aware of what could happen.

It's about ethics in games journalism.

I disagree. Changing what I'd say by request, or making the article nicer because they'd given me would, in my mind, be unethical.

Seems there's already plenty of bad press about so I offered my thoughts for them to give to the dev without the need for public criticism. It's not like there are readers who are hanging on my review to decide if the game is good or bad :)

I was just repeating the Gamergate line I wasn't serious.

I kind of assume that whenever people talk about "ethics in games journalism", they probably aren't really talking about ethics or journalism.

They're really just talking about whether Chris Brown should be let into Australia or not.
