Regardless how badly the article was written I found the reaction from Ben Kuchera a bit strange.
There are far worse comments on some other actual news sites towards the journalist who has written something controversal and yet the heated debate goes on.

If you write such an article (which, come on lets be honest here, was made to flame) you stand by it and take the blows like a man. But now, by closing the comments and by that last comment from Ben Kuchera I get a feeling that these people are not professionals at all, they are just random people like you and me who have decided to start reviewing games. Their word weighs nothing.

Regarding the article, I have to agree with everyone here, it was really badly written. My university essays are better written than that and I am not even English. It makes me very sad to think that this could be the future of journalism...
