Bill Harris has a look at NCAA Football 2009 reviews, versus his own look at the game. Looks pretty grim on the game reviewers side, sigh.

Sins of a Solar Empire
I’ve just ordered Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2, but Sins of a Solar Empire might call me back just from this one thing. Hehe, uber pirates! Fun having such destructive neutral AI forces.IGDA Elections
Definitely worth checking these great writeups, something I was possibly going to do. I’m glad there are board questions and other bits on the profiles too. Go vote if you’re a member!Crap Job Ubisoft...
I’m now not going to buy Assassins Creed 2, sigh. Preservationists nightmare == invasive dumb online DRM.Jump Leads
A humorous British sci-fi comic randomly found (wish I could remember where from). The first few issues hold up with the humour and the art is good, so well worth a shot.Anders Loves Maria
A rather turbulent journey through a relationship, in comic form (highly recommended from other comics is how I found it). Read from the beginning, if you’re and adult, and enjoy! -

Obviously reviewed by people who are not football watchers.
The simulation market is one where the adage “realism is not fun” breaks down quite a bit.
Absolutely, I’d never be able to review an American Football game without knowing the rules. The things he points out seem like pretty major flaws for a sports game, and none are reported in the reviews, making them as he said more “previews” then anything.
Lucky I don’t trust reviews
