Star Wars: KotOR - Review @ Jolt.co.uk
   

Another favorable <a href="http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=839" target="_blank">review</a> of BioWare's/LucasArts' 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic' can be found at Jolt.co.uk today. Rating: 87%.<blockquote><em>While Star Wars is set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away; Knights of the Old Republic is set even longer ago than that. Here Jedi are far more commonplace, and the galaxy is in as much peril as it ever was. The current threat is not the Empire, but the Sith. Well, wannabe Sith at any rate – the real blighters died out already, leaving secrets for a new wave of Dark Side servants to discover. All of that pales in comparison to an even greater technology however – an ancient galactic-scale weapon of mass destruction whose creators seemingly vanished tens-of-thousands of years ago. You'd think that someone would take the hint.</em></blockquote>

Jeez!
   

It's bad enough that the reviewer is revealing some spoilers in the review, but do you guys have to do it as well in your news blurb about it?!

Sorry about that . While I formerly used to copy&paste quotes from an article based on the quote's content (i.e. potentially interesting yes/no), I have recently made it a habit to copy&paste from the beginning of an article to not confuse the reader.
This decision was based on the assumption that it might be annoying if you read a quote here, then check the article, start reading from top to bottom and then stumble into the quote that was posted here on your way down.
I personally find it much more convenient to start reading an article from top to bottom ("top" being where the quote that was posted here ended) knowing that I will not have to pay attention to what I'm reading and knowing that I will not have to either skip or re-read a section of the article that I already know.
Should provide for a more relaxed reading experience. If the beginning of the article contains spoilers it's a pity but hard to control. I do not know every game out there and can not possibly judge what is common knowledge or highly spoiler-sensitive material.
An easy fix: Just stop reading if it smells "spoiler-ish" .
