I wrote this to Jason, but it could be posted here as well:

AGN is always glowing. Must like ads <that was a little too harsh. Jeremy does a great job of posting news but the hardware reviews are a little on the light side in my opinion>. Don't read Riva3D all that much, but the review seemed a little less professional. It was pretty glowing, however.

I like Anand's reviews. He also is a little on the nice side, but he tends to be very fair and broad. No voodoo3 review yet.

Sharky Extreme does VERY good reviews. Of course, they're the ones who get the bad card ...

Tomshardware is a joke these days.

Voodooextreme wasn't that great of a review (the writing style and knowledge were pretty poor). <A little harsh here, but I usually love the site, maybe I'm overly dissappointed>.

Lots of pounding about no OpenGL ICD. 32bit comments were as expected.

I'm not sure what sort of shape the drivers were in, but a bunch of problems were reported.

All in all, the reviews were ok, but they're not going to cause a breathless wait until the cards come out.

The good news (which is getting very little play) is the STB CC comment about tier 1 wins.

ps - I liked Blue's comments. He is usually very good as well.

pps - anyone been able to enter the contest? My browser hangs then says can't connect to the server.

ppps - to many postscripts, but it was interesting to comapre the many different review styles today.
