IGN Game Reviews

Kinda sucks an ad cuts right into the middle of the review. I still blooped over it, but not great. Update: Wow… the writing on IGN is terrible. Just listened to the Scott Pilgrim EX review and inane opinion after inane opinion about “retro” gaming and nostalgia. I’m sorry but if you’re going to be a games journalist please try to write above a junior high level research paper and have experience playing more than just games released in the last 20 years or scrub the idea that things are completely rooted on nostalgia..

Amazing game reviews from Official IGN website

The brothership review is biased

I used to rely on EGM as a kid to help find the oddball good games that you don’t hear people talk about, and this has filled that void. Now I’m at least aware of some new games, even if I’m usually playing the games from five years ago that I’ve never gotten around to.

I don’t think it’s just IGN that has this problem, but games media as a whole. The writers are incredibly wordy and it tends to come off bad. Kind of as if they’re showing off their talent and putting that above the content matter itself. Eh. The lengthy paragraphs found online do NOT translate well to audio. Sentences are heavy with words and I grew incredibly bored rather quickly. It was like sitting through a lecture and listening to a professor I care nothing about. Short and punchy should do the trick in terms of audio reviews. Remember, this is Audible. I’m not listening to a book.
