Forums - Gaming - GAMESPOT or IGN? which site gives better game reviews other than these?

IGN



Pixel Art can be fun.

IGN for me. I usually agree with their reviews (at least the written parts) and I rarely get burned by them. Also, they have the Chobot.



IGN was the first gaming site I visited (sega sages) and it's been reliable throughout the years.



IGN



its not they are "Too lazy" , jeez.

its that Gamespot doesn't review a game before getting the final build. IGN reviews the review build, IGN is pretty stupid at times, reviewed by a bunch of idiots, and if their fanbase loves a game, they give it an extra score, if the game is not so popular they just rub it off, if the game is too hard to finish they whine about the difficulty and review it before finishing it.

Gamespot however take good notes on what the game offers and what to keep an eye out, their scores however are not the most generous but thats a good thing since it means they are not biased.

so Gamespot.

Okay. Please explain why:

1) They didn't review Valkyria Chronicles until 3 weeks after release

2) The PS3 review of Dead Space was put up a week after the 360 review, and was IDENTICAL.

3) Similarly, Dragon Ball Burst Limit had no PS3 review until WAY after the 360 review.

I don't know why they do it, but they do it.

I don't know why they do it, but they do it.

1) its an rpg, VC takes long to finish.

2) different team, reviewing on different consoles

3) same as above

don't get me wrong, im not saying they are "perfect" im just saying that they made the better written reviews.

IGN is too biased of what they're fanbase want them to do , and also on the mainstream games.
