Journalists are tough. I mean, us gaming journalists are about average when it comes to the ability to take an ass, no matter the size, and kick it, but journalists in far off lands covering atrocities or who-shot-who down at the local laundromat are in a class all their own. That's why when they talk about the Wii, we listen."To tell the truth, I'm looking forward to the Wii more than the PS 3. Why Wii? Because it has built-in interactivity. It comes with a remote-control wand that will read your physical motions. If you're playing some baseball games, for instance, you'll be able to swing the wand, and the game will read your swing."
As a writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Doug Elfman (not to be confused with Danny Elfman) has won many awards and is also a well-respected TV critic at the Chicago Sun-Times. That list of credentials pretty much guarantees him
Serious human beings are looking forward to it, so it must be good!

Speak for yourselves. "Normal" journalists generally know shag all about gaming and just write whatever they're told to write. I wouldn't believe one if he told me grass is green.
