IGN for sure.
IGN? HA! They just totally bashed Brawl for the stupidest reasons I've ever heard. Maybe it was just Bozon, without Matt to hold his leash, but some of the most uninformed, confused opinions about Brawl made me say "Goodbye" to IGN.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
No More Heroes is a game that people are either going to like or hate.
Obviously, Xplay giving it a great score -- 5/5 -- didn't help sales all that much.
Xplay is on G-4 in the US. Ironically, Comcast thinks so little of this channel that is does NOT move it out of the digitial tier on systems it owns (while it moves the Golf Channel and other properties out). So it is not important in the grand schemes of things.
I honestly liked the sarcastic tone the show USED TO HAVE. Now it is trying too hard to appeal to the core demo of the channel. That means fewer reviews (there used to be 5-6 per show, now there aren't 5-6 per week) and more demos, cheats, how-tos, and "powder puff" interviews.
I am a bit amazed that Adam Sessler would put the show together like that (he was given more control when it went to a daily broadcast). He is the ONLY person left from Tech TV and has been doing this show or a variation of it for the better part of the 2000s (Morgan Webb is his third co-host).
To be blunt, I stopped taping the show after the first week of the new format (and I did not miss an episode last year). I used Xplay to keep up on games because in 25 minutes I could see six titles -- including those for systems I didn't own -- and know what was good and what was not. (There is a rationale behind the numbering system and if you listen between the bad jokes, there is an explanation for the score).
Back to the point, however, given the lack of exposure of the channel, almost any other source's review probably carries more weight.
