Its a bit of a catch-22.I'm not a reviewer or a game designer/publisher, but I've always thought that the singlemost important thing a reviewer can do is point out that they are either A: a professional game reviewer or game designer (and a link to something that will back that up) or B: Simply a gamer with enough time and ego on his hands to write a review.I mean, I lnow enough to take most reviews with a grain of salt...but not everyone does. Right now, (to campare to movie reviewing) we have the Roger Eberts standing alongside the "Lord of the Rings sucked cuz they left out Tom Bombadil" reviewers, and the average Joe surfing the net has no means to know the difference between the two. I think the worst disservice to the industry is regular gamers carrying on as though they're professionals.My opinion only.Trev</blockquote>
