Go away, spammer.
Eh, it's a pretty good write-up. And it's certainly on-topic.
What's your gripe?
"Usenet is a worldwide distributed Internet discussion system".
The operative word here being DISCUSSION.
Sure, and feel free to actually discuss the adventure game review
that was posted. Calling it spam is incorrect, and your complaints
are just noise.

You would help your cause greatly if you posted your review directly
on the newsgroup with your link embedded in case anyone wanting to
check out your site for more info.

When I just see "hey! check out my grooovy website" and a link (just like you did), I think the same thing as the person who originally complained.

*I* didn't. You might help your cause by replying to a post made by
the person to whom you're offering advice.

My apologies, apparently I got lost in the list of attributions. It should have read: "Jonah Falcon would have helped his cause..."

Um, why should I cut and paste an entire review - especially when it has embedded videos to help the reader get samplings of gameplay?

Ummm, you do know how to cut and paste text do you not? Or at least an excerpt? If all you have to offer is a link then your post offers no value to the newsgroup. No one with any sense of security is going to click on a link with no supporting text.

Ah, so now you're just whining nitpicks.

I didn't know I rigged it so you were forced to click on the link.
