Stop "Looting" The Front Page

You know, It annoys me when small independent websites on N4G are blatently building accounts on this website to ensure their news gets published. The article "Microsoft Misleading" is a terrible article because the author has spun the way the article is written. If the author bothered to watch the advert with a decent attention span, they would realise that the Microsoft advert clearly states "From £129.99" it's rather annoying that the front page has nothing but fanboy provoking articles being featured. However the more interesting information is how these articles get approved in the first place?

Is it meerly in this case PS3 fanboy's seeing some information that is disingenuous to Microsoft and think, hey! i'll approve that? Doubtful, afterall a massive percentage of N4G's viewership are by those that don't post articles, let alone them getting 3 stories that are approved and hit the front page. The work in my opinion is by Loot Ninja staff themselves. It's a tactic clearly used by the HipHopGamer who's podcasts are nothing more than dreadful, non-thought provoking and distinctly lacking in FACTS. I'm starting to go off N4G.com, which is a shame because its a great resource, but its blatently obvious small independent websites that are gasping for exposure are bending the rules, because its suits them. Stop 'Looting' the front page of decent content.

It depends on if you have facts to back it up, or have some good, viable reasoning behind what you're saying. If you're just saying that a certain system sucks, it has no games, or whatever, then you're flamebaiting because you're not giving anything to back it up.

In the case of the "Microsoft Misleading" article, I don't think you saw what it was about: They said that they were advertising the Netflix thing they have, and then say that you need the Hard Drive (in the fine print) to use the Netflix feature, but then push the bare-bones Arcade SKU (which doesn't have the required hard drive to work the advertised features). 3/4ths of the people not watching that commercial will not read the fine print (if you're aware, most commercials that have fine print will only display it for a few seconds, if that), and thus put two and two together and think that they can just buy the Arcade SKU and be able to use Netflix (or, for that matter, have a hard drive included in that SKU). That's the misleading thing the article was discussing.

Also, there is a LOT of hypocrisy on this site from most of the 360 crowd (granted, some on the PS3 side do this too, but it's the 360 crowd that does this a LOT more). If there is something bashing the PS3 for whatever reason, then they are all for it and it's an unbiased article (no matter HOW it's written) that the "SDF" somehow is trying to hide because they are calling the article what it is. However, when there is an article doing the opposite (making the 360 the target of criticism), they suddenly end up rioting on the article and it's suddenly not a good article and so biased. I've been submitting things from my site criticizing Microsoft and I'm suddenly called a PS3 fanboy and sh!t like that (hell, even calling someone OUT on the sh!t they talked about a Sony thing gets you hell), regardless of what I actually SAID in the article (SUP3R reported my article about GameDaily's SOCOM review saying that I had a biased site even when I was saying that the things they were saying about the game controls and how they worked were false with the help of someone who actually PLAYED the game).

Just wanted to clear that up.

VideoGames 24/7. While we're at it... I think it should be a completley bannable offence for anyone to re-produce the work of Edge magazine, of the Gaurdian as theirs. I see it all the time, there is actually one on the pending section right now (I'm not talking about the one from Edge-Online btw)

Tiny Garden Review | NoobFeed

Asura from NoobFeed writes: Tiny Garden has something that not many games do, but players who want high risks might not be happy with it. In a field that is addicted to speed, it offers structured stillness. Its steady assurance is what makes it unique. Tiny Garden is more interested in long-term attention than short-lived thrill.
