Promotion? Yes. Shameless? Why would you say it's shameless? By that logic ALL promotions are shameless.

I'm referring to the article by Massively not the promotion by the developers of Fallen Earth with this little hat/feather (which I think is rather cool).

I've said it before -- Massively is a PR extension of these companies. There aren'y any actual journalists here. Just a collection of game fans that are capable of forming coherent articles. Don't come here looking for objective game reviews or constructive criticism, unless of course, you read the comments. ;)

Why do you think there are so many polls or "tell us what you think" articles here? They turn this data right around and share it with their game company buddies.

@Archmage

a. What's wrong with them sharing the poll info to the game company buddies?

b. If one wanted objective game reviews, where on the net would one go?

I find that thesee days if I want an objective (usually) game review I hit up personal player blogs.
Like for Fallen Earth I went to

Nice, those are all blogs that I usually frequent daily.

Seems we are of like mind in that regard - as I also contend that smaller personal blogs tend to have more journalistic merit and substance.

To recap:

1. Wasteland Runner (D2D)
2. ATV (Official Site)
3. T-Shirt (Steam)
4. Feather (Official Site)

I look at gimmicks as a bonus and doesn't hurt to have it if your going to try the game out anyways. Whats the big deal anyways... They aren't charging for it...
