Forums - Gaming - IGN being sponsored by Microsoft

Chris Hu on 18 November 2013

The Zelda add is much more obvious and it also features the score it got from IGN 9.4/10.  If you are really annoyed by adds I would be more annyoned by that one especially since it also features the score the game got from the site.

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.

You are kidding, right?

Why would I? I said we don't know.


1. how are those ratings compared to review websites at large?

 

2. oosting a game to a still mediocre score won't sell the games to anyone who cares about reviews. If they do paid reviews, it would be obvious.

Not really. Why would Eurogamer pay for a trip to write some articles about Guerrilla Game's studio? You would expect either Sony or Guerrilla to pay for that.
