Which one is more accurate? Because I comprised a list of games that would suit my taste based on the ratings and I don't know if I should use ign or not.

i think gamespots more accurate ign smells like the creators of the game they review hooks em up with a big wad of cash before they review there game

It's all kind of subjective. I find IGN reviews to be generally better written, with the exception of Kevin-V and Bethany. On the other hand, I think GameSpot scores are more accurate most of the time.

I like IGNs better, though its just opinion. I often times find that lots of GSs criticisms are to minor to really make a difference, and I also find that IGNs scores are closer to my opinion of the games.

I don't like reading ign since you can't really order it from high-low scoring.

never mind I found out how to do it :P

It's pretty much the same though to be honest. I mean a good game is a good game, a bad game is a bad game.

how accurate do you think my list is btw? I just listed out games above 7 rating.

Stealth means stealth lol. Speed means fast movement and combat in like running, climbing, fighting, whatever. Stealth+Speed means little bit of both.

Numbers means the ranking based on the rating. Please add anymore games if you see any relevant ones.

Stealth

1) Metal Gear Solid

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Stealth & Speed

3) Batman Arkham Asylum

4) Assassin's Creed

11) The Saboteur

Speed

2) Ninja Gaiden Sigma

5) inFamous

6) Devil May Cry

7) Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

9) Prince of Persia

10) Just Cause 2

thanks

They both have shown in some cases to have a broader agenda in their reviews, not to mention a lot of them are terrible. They both suck equally IMO.
