Alexa isn't a very reliable source. It only has a few thousand people with add-ons in their browsers.

According to ioi, QuantCast is much better.

Ign was my most visited gaming site for awhile, but lately they just haven't done it for me as much, and now that Matt Cassimassina has shown his true colors with his meltdown about Nintendo being "behind" with tech, I am done visiting that site for good. Matt needs to work on the 360 or Iphone channel or something and leave the Nintendo site open for Nintendo fans, or at least people who actually understand Nintendo.

Maybe not according to your expectations.

He didn't, only morons with modems who can't read thought he did. And Brandon Justice wasn't fired, he resigned.

And this topic gets my weekly "Most Stupid Topic of the Week"-award. Congratulations!

Sounds like Brandon Justice is still angry that he got fired from IGN for being a douche.

I guess he didn't find another job after all!

I never go to IGN. I can't believe they'll do a top 100 NES games list and make you click 100 pages to read the whole thing. That's just sloppy and insulting. The pages take waaaaay too long to load, so I can't even open all 100 at once and tab through them quickly or anything. That would probably explode my computer.

And Matt's meltdown has basically destroyed the credibility of their Nintendo section.

I used to frequent their site, even had a profile on it, but like others, Friday's editorials were completely unnecessary and unmerited; it was enough justification to stop visiting them as a source of viable information....friggin trolls.

I used to be an IGNsider, actually. I cancelled my subscription and left their site altogether at one point. Give me a second, I'll try to remember....

Ah, right. I think it was when they mouthed off at the Penny Arcade guys, and one of the editors said "Why don't you just go back to making comics and leave the game criticism to people who know what they're doing," or something to that general effect. The tone infuriated me so much that I left and never looked back.

I quit going to IGN a long time ago, mainly because of a disconnect between how they felt about games and how I felt about them. I thought they were completely out of touch with the average gamer.

Between things like the Killzone/Gears/Resistance stupidity to the MW:R review and now Matt's whiny meltdown, they've totally blown any credibility they had (not to mention crap from last gen that I've repressed).

Cassamassa broke my heart
