Game Journalism: A Table of Doritos

The Theme games, Magic Carpet and Dungeon Keeper are great too! I've... never played Populous.

It was rad in 1994.

I still want someone to remake Magic Carpet without the bad case of 90s fog.

I don't recall seeing a blatant advertisement within the text of an "article" before, but here's IGN blazing that skid mark of a trail:

The Wii U bundle Reggie was referring to is available at Walmart, and so is the Mario Kart 8 bundle.

The word Walmart is hot linked in the original article. Please don't click the link above.

[YellerDog]

Wait what? IGN's still around?

[FirstBlood]

I find the keyword hotlinking throughout the site to be far more offensive than a "where to buy" link at the end of an article.

[Yoshi]

At least that can be automated though. Some "journalist" actually had to type that sentence.

[James]

I'm assuming the bundle is available to buy just about everywhere else in the world too, and not a WalMart exclusive?

[Tyler_Durden]

Gamers who post on boards like this are jealous of videogame critics because they get paid to play the very same games that we pay to play.

That's all it is. Seething jealousy. Just STFU and deal with it.

Yep.
