Don't feel bad for abandoning IGN, so has 75% of the rest of their audience

[Sorcery]

I stopped going to IGN for a few reasons.

1) They ruined their forum design, it's hideous now, whereas it used to have the same simplistic vibe that vgchartz has (this is the main reason I use vgchartz now).

2) Their main site is horrible for learning about gaming news. They report news up to 24 hours later than many other websites, sometimes they don't report news at all.

3) Their site limits the articles you can easily view.

4) I'm pretty sure there are more editorials on IGN than news posts nowadays.


If I were in charge of the site, I'd get rid of the design. I'd make it easier to access Wii, PS3, and 360 news with gigantic links to each console, make off-shoot links for all their other shit (Gear, Insider, Babes, Stars, Movies, yada yada yada), and create a new section of the main page dedicated to reporting the newest of news as soon as it becomes available (just short blurbs, with expanded versions of that news coming later).

Then again, what do I know? I never majored in anything related to website design. :p
