Why IGN is garbage

3 reasons why IGN can suck it:

1. They'll do anything for page views. Right after IGN posted they're 9.6 out of 10 review of Mass Effect 2 they run to the polls and post, "Are you getting Mass Effect 2 or MAG?" This shows how desperate they are to get page views by starting flame wars. Another example is on Youtube. They're PS3 VS 360 "grudge match" videos are hotspots for fanboy flaming just so they can net the extra view count. Also, the woman who usually does they're daily fix is a porn star who doesn't know anything about video games.

2. They're LAZY! IGN made a list of the 25 best 360 games months ago and it took them almost 2 MONTHS to make a list for the PS3! Not to mention they have an Xbox Live page but no Playstation Network page! Also, they give us this "Xbox Live University" article which was very helpful but where's the Playstation/Wii university?? Exactly, IGN is LAZY.

3. Flame wars between editorials When one editor posts an editorial, another one has to rush in to try and "defend" the topic bashed by the other one! One example is when Matt Casamassina posted his Lazy Nintendo editorial on IGN, Michael Thomsen posted an article about the Appeal of Mario to help Nintendo fanboys forget that they're console is an outdated kiddy toy (Yes, I'm talking about the Wii). Matt Casamassina also posted an editorial about how Uncharted 2 can fix gaming. A couple weeks later, Epic Games must have seen the article and posted a pointless counter article about not regretting Gears of War's exclusivity. Even though the article was mainly about an analyst who thinks that Epic can't wait to go multiplatform, IGN was so desperate for page views they changed the title to lure fanboys who wanted to bask in the glow of the online lag fest known as Gears of War 2. Well, I'm going to go play Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time on my PS3. The bottom line of this blog is that IGN is garbage.
