Assholes.

Lame!

What's funny, is that this doesn't make me angry. Instead, it creates a sense of amazement in me at the stupidity of this. Do they really think people won't find out? Facepalm

It's called The Internet. WE KNOW EVERYTHING!!!

That was blatant. It's a shameless copy -> paste job.
It's a pity this kind of nonsense is so common.

We're positive this is plagiarism, right?

Not the same writer posting on two sites under an alias? Some HG101 articles do appear on other sites (authorized by the writer of course).

But yeah, it certainly looks like plagiarism. And my god is it blatant.

EDIT: The GamesXentral site is now giving me a 404 error.

Nope. In fact I know about this because I follow the HG101 tweet.

[Ack]

I can still access the website. After copying lines from various articles and pasting them in Google for this particular "journalist," I'm finding them coming from other places, such as Eurogamer.net, Gaming-Age.net, 1up.com, and Gameindustry.biz.

[Ack]

I just wanted to say that having compared some of the articles on here, I've contacted 1Up.com, Eurogamer.net, Gamesindustry.biz, RPGFan.com, and a couple of others about possible plagiarism of their material. We shall see if anything comes of it.

Apparently 1UP plagiarized HG101 some time ago, a completely different writer.

[Ack]

I'll let them sort that out. But whoever this guy is at gamexentral.com, he is copying over multiple articles and passing it off as his own work.
