Can someone tell me exactly what SR's Ali-G has against Sony and/or the PS2?
Every general news article by him that appears on the main Freeola site, which contains news that either does or could affect PS2 in a negative way, he seems to take gleeful pleasure in.
I can understand it by reviewers on a site such as Daily Radar, where the site has its own Sony/Sega/Nintendo staff, but surely the general news on Freeola should be unbiased all round?
Just an observation!

Ali,
In that case, please accept my/our apologies.
The way the article in question reads, it sounds like the author meant it would be 'enjoyable' if Sony lost Square/FF to X-Box.
Are these articles written by someone else at SR, or are the from another source, and simply posted as news?
If it's another SR employee, you should stop them using 'your' name!
I think many of us will own more than one machine, if they have the capabilities/software to justify it!
Thanks for clearing that up, anyway!

Nuff said.

Hey hey, time to defend myself here! Just cos the name at the bottom of the news story says Ali-G, doesn't mean I wrote it, other people use that name too! As far as being biased goes, I don't have any preferences at all! Final Fantasy XI is possibly going to Xbox - will it not be fun to play? Will it not be brilliant? This is not biased against PlayStation 2 at all. In fact, I have already made my deposit for a PS2 a long time ago!
I don't think I am biased at all, but it's not my business to tell you what I think anyway, the news stories are always written in an unbiased way so as to appeal to everyone out there. I hope this clears a few things up - for the record, i'll probably get both a PlayStation 2 and an Xbox, just to show you lot how dedicated to my job I am! Keep em coming...

Agreed- just look at todays news item on Final Fantasy XI being possibly ported to X-Box, and I quote "It would certainly be a blow to Sony if the Final Fantasy series moves to the Xbox, but that wouldn't make it any less enjoyable!" I believe that implies that it doesnt matter if Microsoft get the series about Sony, very anti-Ps2 I would say!
Definitely!
I don't want everything to be pro-PS2, but just a neutral, unbiased opinion would be great. If Freeola.com was a Sega/Nintendo site I wouldn't be surprised or bothered - but on what is supposedly an independent site, it's unnecessary.
Obviously Ali has his preferences just like anyone else, but letting them spill over into his 'news' items is unprofessional.
