Max Schoeville is replacing him. No harm, no foul. I've missed his shows since he left Rev 3. He needs the job and Greg Miller is beyond IGN now. Max could use the platform.

Max is taking his place?? Maybe I will come back to IGN the, his not my fave but his alright

Yeah, he interrupted IGN's the fix to announce that he was having his own segment on IGN now. I subscribed to Gregs channel and now I can see both guys. Thats a win in my book.

Well Greg is Ok but Collin is a good guy, so i will miss Collin more then Greg ,but it seems people who hate them are hating for their " console of choice " Lol. it so obvious


It's not about console of choice it's about being overly and obviously fanboyish. Why can't we get journalists who are just gamers and not fanboys.

I am agree with u if we are living on wonderland, the reality is every jurnalist is bias against something.

Its a big blow to IGN. Greg was pretty the face of the company and with Daemon the main host of things. Colin was the head of PlayStation there. Nick and Tim were big behind the camera. Well shit Greg was on episode 1 of Beyond and Colin started episode 92ish, and the are on episode 376 I think. Both have been with IGN for 10+ years (counting freelancing). Greg and Colin are for the most part my favorite game personalties, been listening to Beyond for almost 5 years now. So for me personally it sucks. But at least they are continuing Beyond as freelancers for now.

Max Schoeville is like a mix of Colin and Greg all by himself. One is more about the charismatic end of things and the other is about the analysis of games. Max covers both if you've seen his work on Rev 3.

Is it sad to say that his reviews are some of the most unprofessional reviews I've read?  Like, I'm not saying they're terrible, poorly written or anything like that.  But they honestly seem like they're written for blogs.  Whether that's IGN's doing or not, I'm not sure.  

He explained on one of the podcast episodes that he wrote his reviews like he was just having a conversation with someone, to make them feel more natural. He also said he hated writing reviews for games, which is why he stopped doing them years ago. A lot of the editors (like Marty Sliva) have also said that the worst part of writing the reviews was giving a score for them. Marty even said flat out that review scores are completely pointless.

But that's what I'm saying, he shouldn't have done that.  As far as the score system goes; it became pointless.   Reviews used to be so detailed, they'd go through every little detail.  From the menus , to the gameplay, to the texture work, to the sound effects.  When they used to go into that detail, you could justify the score they used to give.  Then the final score was averaged.  Now they'll give score based on vague comments, and then pull a final score out of their assess.  Miller was one of the later.

You seem to be under the impression that I'm defending or in support of his review style. I couldn't care less about reviews, I'm just giving you information.

No I agree with you.  I was just venting against how things are now
