I think I’m more likely to read this new SCEA blog than something like ThreeSpeech because you know the writers will never ever (intentionally) bring you bad news. That’s not a good thing – but at least you know what to expect. These semi-official blogs make a big deal about the fact they’re not controlled by Sony or Microsoft, yet it’s as if they exist in a bubble where only the PS3 or 360 exist.

Of course, I realise that’s why they exist in the first place. It’s not like I expect Gamerscore to start raving about Resistance. But, I guess it’d be like you writing this blog and never making reference to music, film or television. I’m not pointing to any particular piece, by the way. I didn’t even know you’d written for ThreeSpeech, which shows how observant I am.

It’s probably just me, in fact. But still – they make me a bit wary. I’d rather toe the corporate bullshit line and know I’m being lied to, rather than sit in the middle-ground, over-scrutinising all the writing – even the good stuff – because I have the suspicion I’m being lied to.
