The RAM Raider, a new blog written by an anonymous game journalist (AKA a writer who doesn't have the pair to put a name to his opinion), is a bit bitchy for my taste. In the Raider's defense he or she did point out that the blog was not meant to be journalism, and on that point RR has succeeded. I mean, complaining that Rockstar used way too big a bag to ship him their latest game seems a bit idiotic to me, especially when there is so much more to complain about. I get next day FedEx boxes at least once a week with a single press release on a sheet of paper at least once a month, haven't game companies ever heard of the fax machine or email?

I did like RAM Raider's rant about deadlines and reviews. It left a little to be desired in way of follow-through, but raises some good points. Chief among them: Some reviewers don't spend much time with a game before they actually review it. Let's hope RR outlives the burn-out stage of blogging and the site matures into something worth a daily read.

Ed's Note: Well someone's running scared. The RAM Raider site, up only hours ago, has turned itself off. I suppose even anonymity isn't enough for some.
