Sure, you read the reviews that Village Voice Media writers Chris Ward and Gary Hodges publish every week in the screens section of the Voice site. Ok, maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But either way you’ll be happy–or at least vaguely interested– to know that you can now read more gaming exploits from these two wacky guys, and just about everyone else who writes about video games for Village Voice Media (including, someday soon, yours truly), at the new blog Joystick Division.
So far Joystick Division has been taking a light-hearted, fun approach to games coverage, including a post about some of the worst review copies to come across the Voice Media desk, and a write-up of Pac-man porn. Yes, Pac-man porn. Anyways, check the site out, fly your silly gamer pride, and keep an eye out for the day when I join the apparently Voltron-like team of writers that has come together to form this giant, shiny robot of a site.
