@OP, the person who reviewed the Zelda game was the same one for MW3??? If not your whole argument falls apart. Its really strange that grown folks cannot grasp the concept of "multiple reviewers". IGN does not review games, 1up cant review games, because those are not people. IGN is not one person, so getting mad at the site because ONE of their DOZEN or so reviewers gave a score you did not like is immature IMHO. By that logic we would all never visit sites or read magazines.
Now a better question would be if you would stop reading a specific reviewers score or not take it too seriously. IE I look at Tim Turi's reviews and i think he overexagerates some negative aspects of games, but hell Im not gonna stop reading GI just cause of one guy


When it all comes  down to it though the review needs to be accepted and edited by the staff at ign.Take this site for example: the review is sent to the staff site for editing and review, then after the embargo is lifted it can be posted. basically like that) 

So with all that said, if ign as a whole were to allow a review to be posted even though it was crazy I would be mad. Leave? I could not say for sure.

You are saying if a reviewer were to give skyrim a 5 out of 10 just because for some reason he did not like you would just stop reading his reviews? Even if everyother site gave it a 9 or higher? Ign as a site would be crazy to allow something like that. 

 

@@ modern warfare 3 wii thread.

since it was for the wii his boss did not care if he gave that game a 4.5.

} wass going to buy the game then I changed my mind. Well Nintendo you can say a big thank you to ign, since because of them i am picking it up for sure now to see how wrong they are!

 

Pardon my writing,it is worse than usual because i am on my phone. i will edited it later.

the editor's job is to make sure that what is wrtten is coherent and makes sense.  Their not supposed dictate scores and content, thats not journalism, it sounds like what your suggesting is that editors should stifle reviewers?? Does that make sense to you?? That sounds like crap they pull in communist and dictator countries.

Really man?? You really believe their is a guy who is writing a review, drinking scotch and saying "Muhahahahaha, I cant wait to see what spurgeonryan says about this, that guy is lame!" You honestly believe that these reviewers have a personal vendetta?? They dont even know us.

IGN "allows" review because last i checked they were based in a democratic country that has something called freedom of peace and they trust that their reviewers will write what they think is best.

What i find funny is that you dont even get on the perfect 10 reviews??? Why is that. You're no better than the 1up guy.  Has it accorded that the perfect 10 guys are giving it this score because of bias for the series or they are just too chickenshit to give a score they really want and dont angry responses?! Actually you might be worst at least these guys PLAYED the game that you claim shouldnt get anything less than an A
