A new article in SimHQ about Cod

In all honesty, I think the point of the whole article can be found here:

"5. Don’t send out press review copies. Nothing sets a negative feeling toward reviewing a game like telling the gaming press that they can[sic.] have a copy of the game four months after the original release."

Maybe this guy is as bitter as the nay-sayers on this board because he had to shell out cash to review this game instead of being sent a freebie? I don't imagine the contributors of SimHQ get paid very well, if at all. And with the lack of actual "review" in the article, I think he didn't actually have the cash to buy the game, and could only write based off threads on forums....

I think you raise a very valid point there Cheese.
