When it comes down to it, these lists should be about games. Games. Not innovation. I'm sorry, I don't play the innovation game. I play Super Smash Bros, Gears of War 2, and LittleBigPlanet. Not Innovation 09. The Playstation 1 had a way more complete and superior library than the 360 has now (for its time). It revolutionalized and popularized the RPG genre, as well as opening up the European and worldwide market. Seriously, rated lower than the 360?

IGN messed up big time.

Post of the day award goes to you!

Try convincing the average IGN reader today that Castlevania SOTN was a better game back then than Uncharted and Gears are today...good luck! Believe me I tried...

PS1 was against the almighty N64.

No. I mean that it changed the market without actually making any real innovations. A CD based game system and cinematics were not original ideas by Sony, but they changed videogames as we know them (RPGs especially). And I was claiming that if I was playing the innovation game, the PS1 far surpassed most consoles in history (definitely the 360). And if we're talking games, it still beats the 360.

Any review i see quoted on this site for any system usualy lists IGN. So when ti comes to IGN...reviews good?...console lists bad?


You know why the console warriors love IGN reviews so much, right? While every review site can get sucked in by hype to some degree, IGN really takes it to another level. Just about every hyped exclusive is guaranteed a near-perfect score. In other words, they tell the fans what they want to hear. Those fans rarely care that every other hyped game is also receiving an inflated score; all they care about is that the exclusive they're currently excited about gets a glowing review.

Yeah, there's occasionally an exception to the rule, but in general it holds true. I don't think this is due to some planning on IGN's part, either; it's just a side effect of how they separate the site into console-specific sections, each with its own editorial staff.


That makes a lot of sense actually. I noticed that IGN tends to ubber hype the games that are "big" and then other games that have some faults and no hype get totally blasted...such as Sonic unleashed or alone in the dark.

 

Resistance 2 - 9.5

Kinda says it all.

Of course, while IGN may toss out horrible scores, I find the content of their reviews to be some of the best out there.  They generally tell it like it is, with any hype primarily effecting the number at the end.  They generally give detailed and fair accounts of the content of each game they review.

IGN hates Sony. Them putting 360 over PS1 is an example to that. This list fails big time
