Considering the fact that they gave Crimson Dragon a 59 and LocoCycle a 52, I'd hardly call them Xbox biased if that's what you're getting at.

You have to wonder how the score would've been if IGN wasn't being sponsored by MS. I mean the deal could be to raise the score by 5 or 10 points. We don't know.

Just listen to how ridiculous that sounds. Anything below a 6 in the gaming world might as well be a zero. Why would MS pay for that?

I don't trust IGN reviews but not because I think they are paid off. Its not bought IMO, they are just one of those review sites who you will never see score too far outside of the consensus, especially when the game is massively hyped. I stopped trusting them after the GTA IV perfect score review in 2008.
