I mentioned my feel that the Escapist was a bit elitist… well it’s annoyed me that in the latest issue, two articles bash Doom 3 and World of Warcraft, essentially labeling them "bad games". I usually wouldn’t care, but since those are among the best games I’ve played in the past few years, I had to position myself: it is perfectly OK to personally be uninterested in them, but attempting to imply that they are objectively bad games only shows how little care has been put into creating that opinion.

There’s plenty of games (and movies, music, books – any form of entertainment) that I don’t find particularly enjoyable, but I can still respect their level of quality in more or less acceptable "universal terms". I expect, no, I require anyone attempting to write a piece of serious game journalism to make the same effort.
