There is no "regular" Gamecenter reviewer, as far as I can tell.
Gamecenter employs several reviewers.  I suspect "GamerX" is not
actually a single individual but either a group effort or various
reviewers taking turns writing editorials under that pseudonym.  After
all, each game review receives a "GamerX Rating".

In any case, I think you guys are reading too much into the brief
article by GamerX on Diablo.  It seemed to me that it focused SOLELY
on the multiplayer implementation of the game, nothing more, nothing
less, and as such isn't a formal review at all.
