People like me, 2K's Shawn Elliott, What They Play's John Davison, MTV's Stephen Totilo, and Media Assassin Harry Allen have been trading e-mails for months over the practice of video game reviewing. The first block covered scores, and now the second installment, which covers editorial policy and the ethics surrounding reviews, is now available for your perusal.
It's a lengthy read, but if you're interested in what sorts of things go through the minds of the people who spend a lot of their time making game reviews safe for mankind, you'll probably find it pretty fascinating.
