| makingmusic476 said: The likelihood of IGN's declining popularity being caused by Matt Cassamasina is pretty small. Tossing out ~9.5 scores for every big game that comes around is probably the bigger reason. Their reviews don't have much credibility these days, and their reviews are the reason they became popular in the first place. I still can't believe they gave Resistance 2 a 9.5 just because they were afraid to say Gears 2 was the better game. Killzone 2 ended up scoring lower than Resistance 2 as a result of the inflated score, and I think they're the only site that rated Resistance the higher of the two. The actual text of each review paints Killzone 2 to be the much better game. It was like "This game is really good. 9.5" compared to "This game is so awesome! 9.4." Same could be said about Resistance 2 vs Gears 2, just change that 9.4 to a 9.5. |
I agree, their reviews rarely match with their scoring IMO. Also, the unexplained differences in Multiplatform game scores irritate the hell out of me which is why I haven't been to Gamespot in almost a year.

Well I stopped visiting IGN a long time ago. Therefore it must be true!
IGN is PS3 biased? 
only guy in there is biased is Greg Miller, the rest are all "Dust out your Ps3 because finally a game worth getting is released!" sll the time.
- Wasteland - The Mission.
giving games 11/10s is what got me to stop going there
Well, all i can say is that a lot of gaming websites are not what they used to be, like IGN, GameSpot and GameRankings.
Ever since Fox effectively purchased them, I have found them to be going gradually downhill.
They changed their design a couple of days ago, and I think its a 1000x better now - I'll probably start visiting more regularly.

You forgot Hilary Goldstein.
Anyways, IGN always had a wacky collection of freaks that really shouldn't be writing. Last gen they had that overzealous xbot on their team that started calling Nintendo fans "nazis." That got him fired.
I do wonder how long they plan on allowing Matt Cassassassassasasasaina chase away their Nintendo crowd before he gets the boot or just has a complete mental background.
