"I didn't know it was there"

Hmm, I have to laugh at your response!

It's a shame these places are going down like this.

I did. Erik told me about it a while ago when he wrote a couple articles for the US version. US Gamespot is as bad as IGN/UGO, etc. but the UK site had some pretty strong stuff. It's still active for now, you can go see what's left of it for a couple weeks yet.

That article mentions Justin Calvert. He has his own website of reviews and used to be a contributor to {url=http://www.sportsreviewers.com/]sportsreviewers.com[/url]. While SR is focused on games I don't generally care for, it's about the best video game website around. Clean, simple design, and they review both games and other sites' reviews of games, sort of like omm used to, but they're a little more serious about it. They have a good forum community, too. I go back and check it periodically to make sure it's still there, and to see if there's been any progress made in baseball video games. Someday there will be a good one...maybe. High Heat 2003 for ps2 is OK, but baseball still doesn't have the equivalent of an NFL2K1 or Madden - a consistently good simulation franchise.

Gamecritics was OK, but they make you register now. Fuck 'em.

Consistently good "graphics" simulation franchise. Text gaming - sans story :) - is alive and well as far as baseball products go.

Um, ok, I'll take your word for it, but on the website Jeep linked to, it has his name as Jonathan.

So I guess whatever.
