How to use and abuse the gaming press

An interesting article by an English journalist about how to get decent press with indie video games. The article focuses on Uplink and Darwinia but makes a few interesting comments about journalism in general.

The games press is often painted as corrupt, lazy and – as I mentioned – fundamentally stupid. This is because we tend to be corrupt, lazy and fundamentally stupid.

I’ll have to re read it when I make my next game (which will hopefully be less generic than Bubble Blitz).
