The fact that NPR did not write the article is irrelevant. They chose to run the story on their website, which suggests they endorse the review.

That's simply not true. They don't "endorse" every reprinted AP story on their website. They just reprint them.

It suggests they recognize video game reviews will bring traffic to their website.

Hardcore gamers don't own the gaming industry - by far.
If reality actually operated this way then newspapers would feature reviews of animated movies written by 8-year-olds.

There is a difference between an obvious joke and a real world video game review, but you already knew that.

If that's the case then how do you explain the rabid fanboyism seen on these forums?
