Under their new editor, the Phoenix has taken to putting punchier heds and subheds on my reviews, such as this Calling All Cars! review. That's all well and good, but I think in this case it might get me punched in the nose if Dave Jaffe sees it.

Jaffe's douchebaggery aside, I wholeheartedly believe that his attitude is endorsed by his company to create buzz about his games. He's only a couple steps away from calling Joystiq "nappy-headed hos" and how can you blame him? Who needs well written, unbiased game talk when you can take a big name in game development, give him a blog and tell him to act like any griefer and we end up with a generally positive review and developer blog being linked on every major gaming site on the web. Like a lite-brite hanging from a bridge, you can't buy this kind of publicity.
