I have the same complaint about his module reviews. They do not read like playtests.

Most of what he describes can be garnered from simply reading the text. Details of play are sparse, despite his claims that he's run the adventures recently. I take him at his word; I just wish he would give more detail concerning his specific complaints and praise based on recent play and based on using this system.

I do like reading his reviews, though--- provided he's reviewing stuff I'm interested in. I just hope he includes more hands-on detail in all of his future reviews, especially when he lists them as playtests.
