1.listing MGS Rising as an exclusive. Then having to change it about an hour later. Causing alot of chaos and uncertainty

2.listing a "unannounced" sony game to be revealed. and saying "this could be big".... then turned out to be ModNationRacing, which was already announced at the presser on tues.

Theyre usually really good, but IGN has lost a bit of cred this week.

IGN is garbade in my eyes as far as gaming news in concerned. They have decent reviews though.

Pixel Art can be fun.

They also did a hiccup announcement of a KH game on the Wii, which was really really strange.

Speaking of which, did SE show anything at all during E3 yet?

It's not that surprising.

IGN is strongly Xbox 360 Bias, so it was Easy for them to assume "OMG MGS EXCLUSIVE YAY!!11" ...

One of the many reasons i respect them no more other then certain reviews.

Yeah.

It's not really a big deal though. Rising wasn't going to be exclusive, everyone should have known that.

And there wasn't another announcement. They could have messed up in worse ways.
