I have the feeling a lot of places will be beating Gamespot in the near future...

 hehehehehe seems extreme but not wrong.

lol It's so obvious why people like IGN. They are like a fansite for all 3 consoles rolled into one convenient site. They helped me figure out Prey was an AAA title, thanks IGN. Apparently everybody has forgotten the whole semi scandal revolving around Prey and IGN and what people said happened with that games rating.

 what happened with it?

Eh, I wish I still had the story on it.  The guy who was reviewing it was talking about Prey and one of the high-up's in IGN kept asking him what he was going to give the game and basically trying to say that he thought it deserved a high score.  This is against the site's policy. 

It's the sort of indirect peer pressure a boss can give that makes you feel like something bad would happen if you did otherwise.  Anyways the game came out and "amazingly" got a 9.0 on there.  Nobody got fired though, and as most things do it just passed.  

the game was actually good though... I enjoyed it. It's better and a lot more unique than many FPS out there
