| Sorry, but it's obvious no one else was going to answer you :(
For interviews, I like Sega-16. Melf has made it his mission to interview anyone and everyone even tangentially associated with Genesis-era Sega, from executives and engineers to designers and composers to marketers and QA testers. The new, post-hack site design makes you dig through the Features archive (admittedly a treasure trove of neat junk) to find anything, so here are a few to get you started: Michael Katz, Tom Kalinske, Trip Hawkins, and Mark Cerny. For reviews, I like The Video Game Critic. He gets straight to the point, and he's not afraid to call 'em like he sees 'em. Honesty and brevity - what more could you reasonably expect out of a generalist reviewer? Also, I love how easy his site makes it to find the content I'm looking for, even if I don't know what it is exactly I'm looking for until I find it. It's one of the few review sites that still allows browsing and skimming, two things most enthusiast blogs (with their endless last-in/first-out cascades) and professional web portals (with their exposure-maximizing multi-page listicles) seem to actively discourage. For general nuttiness, you could do worse than The Retro Video Game Fanatic. I find his childlike enthusiasm infectious. He mostly covers Super Nintendo and Sega Saturn in a lighthearted, screenshot-and-caption heavy style, but you'll also find plenty of articles about his simultaneously bizarre and fascinatingly dull real life as a born-again Christian missionary. One article is literally just an episode of Home Improvement. It's maybe the single greatest piece of New Games Journalism ever written. More to come, including my favourite YouTube channels. |
