Gaming How to Screw up Like IGN

[FireGrey]

Well i'm actually pretty against most review ratings.
Because it leaves not much people happy the ratings.
But i like the reviews with pros and cons like in magazines.
magazines are my fave for reviews.

I only browse IGN for pics and videos of games I'm excited about. Every now and again, they have interesting features like The History of Gameboy, so I check those out as well. As for reviews and credibility, I take everything lightly, since there's too much pressure from developers via advertising money, to base all my decisions on one review.

I use metacritic for reviews because it is basically an average of sites and magazines.
IGN is meh in my opinion

IGN went horribly down hill a good few years ago.

I agree.
It really annoys me how they make "Nintendo Hate" articles, then randomly make "Nintendo Love" articles.
And, they usually claim that Nintendo is a failure, even though Nintendo has consistantly been the most successful company. Then they'll use the buzz words "shovelware" and "waggle" to try and back up their claims. It's not hard to ignore those games, you know...

And, finally, they'll usually give games scores based on their hype, then turn around and slag off those games when they become unpopular.

Agreed, but I've moved on. Still visit them sometimes, though.

Can't spell ignorance without "IGN"

Anyway OP, if you actually watched the "NGP Sucks" video, you'd know it was completely unserious. Just a way for David to crack a few jokes, and troll all the Sony fans in the comments who took it seriously, despite the joke disclaimer.

And Guild, Nintendo 3DS Blog sources all its articles. If you want a further source, follow the link you got then go to its source. Not hard.

The NGP joke was unnecessary.

Anyway, if you're a fan of Sonic series, you have a lot more of reasons to hate them.

Except what he meant was that he would rather see that source linked here, rather than some blogspam.

Yeah, there's no point going through a maze to make sure the news is reliable. If you want the news then go to 3dsblog or whatever, find the source, and quote the news from there.
