Who is writing these press releases?

Short post, but this has been on my mind...Who is writing these press releases for military themed games that have such great lines as "Report for duty gamers", "New orders received", "Blow up online gaming!", "Incoming!", "Hollywood joins forces with (fill in developer/publisher name)". I mean, really...does anyone think this is cool? Am I missing something? I know these things are hard to write, we slaved over our first one and still I wasn't satisfied...and yet...

In other news, I've played a crap ton of games lately ranging from Demon's Souls to Vanquish to Medal of Honor to the Undead Nightmare expansion pack for Red Dead Redemption. It's been a while since I played so many different games so intensely (currently I'm plowing through Vanquish on Hard and trying to get the max time challenge awards for each level). Demon's Souls had a lot of interesting ideas connecting players/friends/enemies, but ultimately, I was not into the combat, which is a problem when the game is a hack and slash ^_^;

Did anyone else check out MoH or Vanquish? Thoughts?

OK, gotta run. We're trying to get version 1.1 out the door of the Black Powder | Red Earth facebook game ^_^
