Forums - Nintendo - IGN Wii guys thanked in the Conduit's credits. Possible bias in review?

IGN gave the Conduit its second highest review score to date.  I just beat the single player and noticed that Matt Cassamassina and Mark Bozon are thanked in the credits.  There are other names underneath theirs that I believe are also IGN Wii staffers.  I smell a bit of bias.



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

Considering IGN helped them get a publisher, it's only natural. I severely doubt their review was biased. But go ahead, conspiracy theories are always loads of fun.

I think that a possible bias of IGN has been easily offset by an obvious bias of Giant Bomb.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

matt has admitted that he enjoyed the game a lot (podcast). if he liked the game, he will rate it that way.
also, its not as though the 8.6 was way too high. no bias imo.

its too easy to jump on ignwii for this. the team is thorough on coverage and at the very least capable at reviewing.

Nah I think they were honest.



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Well if he thought Conduit sucks they wouldn't cover HVS so much...

Hmm because they gave the game an extreme amount of publicity when it was unknown, which helped them find a publisher...



Former something....

yeah pretty much, i wrote this a week ago, this makes the ign review look unprofessional, and its too much of a coincidence that ign gave the conduit the highest rating....
