It was refreshing to be reminded that games are played for fun. It's a hobby and an interest. Let's try and keep it that way. So many sites SEEM to almost attempt to alienate their audiences from the reviewers by giving the reviewers some sort of star status (Or at least the staff members begin to act arrogant for lack of a better word). An approachable persona coupled with a down to earth attitude will help a reviewer/site connect with their audience. It's this connection which is so important to a subject that is ultimately a game of opinions. In contrast, potentially many sites attempt gain their credibility by attempting to prove superiority to their audiences. I can't see this as a valid means to boost community numbers. I believe in short a gaming site's credibility can be evaluated over the course of time. It doesn't take a genius to write their opinions of games backed up by subjective evaluations. So a gaming site's credibility is ultimately determined over the course of time by how well they connect with their audience. I will begin to trust a site as valid once I read their reviews and the product I purchase fits the review I read more often than not. Nice response.
