Now the thing that disturbs me about the topic is that IGN is basically admitting that they don't review games based on how good they are at what they're trying to be, IGN reviews games on what they want games (in general) to be.

 

I'm once again going to point at the Football Manager debacle, where IGN actually withdrew a review that was done by someone who did not understand football (soccer), and did not understand what was so fun about a management sim.

So the fact is that IGN employs double standards. If the game is 'hardcore' enough, they won't even consider leaving the review in the hands of someone that doesn't enjoy or understand the genre, but with 'casual' games, that's no problem at all.

I think they should just stick to one way of doing things. Either way is fine by me.
