What's up Inferno readers?
I've been quite the busy journalist as of late. I've been dealing with
PR who want to see me fail, and other PR who are more than willing to
work with me. It's just the way things go in the journalism biz. I'm
glad I had the balls to email Kristiana Suess of EA a link to my article
"Let's Talk - "Proper PR Etiquette" though. While it may not have
helped EA's, or FortySeven's opinion of me it's something I feel they needed to read.
Too many PR agencies, and game developers have poor opinions of us
journalists, and think that our jobs pale in comparison to theirs. The
fact is that their job which they get paid handsomely for only requires
the copying, pasting, and sending of emails along with some phone calls.
In the end it is a paying job, and if done correctly it will not
only help us journalists help the PRs succeed, but will also help all of us keep
the gaming companies we are trying to support afloat in these uncertain economic
times.
On the good side of things I have secured some new review material by out of pocket means, and have also gotten placed on the lists for some upcoming PS VITA, and PS3/PSN releases. Among these are FKDigital's "Chaos Code", Atlus's "Aquapazza", and XSEED's "Valhalla Knights 3". I'll also be tackling the PS VITA RPG "Soul Sacrifice" along with all of it's DLC as well as "Tales of Xillia" when I have some time to spare. Gaming journalism has definitely become a full time job for me, but I find it worthwhile to be able to share with my readers my passion for the gaming industry. You can rest assured that I will never give up on my job as a gaming journalist. Even if every PR grew to despise me I'd still move forward in some form, or fashion.
I hope everyone continues to stop by the old Inferno for my critiques, and that my reviews continue to help you make a proper educated decision about your future gaming purchases. Feel free to leave a comment any time you like, but remember that all comments now have to go through me before being posted. I've gotten too many spam messages, and don't want them sneaking onto my blog. As I said before you can continue to expect more reviews from me in the near future. Thanks for your continued support everyone!
