i prefer to read gaming magazines that are independent (EGM) as oppose to OXM or Playstation Mag. Because they sometimes review the games in a way that will be like its the best game since [inset fav game here]. There have been a few instances where the OXM actually gave bad games a bad rating....which it deserved.
As for video game journalism it is there but most of the content from the magazines and websites all seem the same. majority of the people behind the writing are like most of their core audience (either teenagers or adults who act like teens
)
