So I've talked about it. Alex Navarro has talked about it. Brad Nicholson has talked about it. But to recap....PSN is down. Now I'm all for humor, but I think that IGN may have played this card a bit too soon. 

Oh the hubris!

Considering the user base of their website that is a pretty bad move.

Well I thought it was funny

Also they actually have a podcast solely focused on PS3 games journalism so this's definitely a dumb move on their part.

We all know IGN is a shitty site. 
I was excited to see a Motorstorm: Apocalypse review, but I couldn't get over how badly written the review was. Here's a screenshot from the review. Can you tell me what the hell is going in the "Lasting Appeal" section. Do they edit anything over there?

Eh, some like a cheap reaction?
I wouldn't read too much into it..  but, it does amateur up the site a little bit, unfortunately.
Then again, who's Kristine?

If anything I'd say Kristine is specifically trolling Greg Miller for this article.

Meh.

At this point where Sony isn't even sure whether the safety of our information has been compromised, I think jokes are not the right way to go about it.

IGN is down with a DNS error.
It's karma

" IGN is down with a DNS error.It's karma "

IGN has always been a joke I believe there one of the most payed off video game sites ever and there reviews are horrid I remember many many years ago they gave that awful gta clone game true crime la a 90 I mean seriously?

Can't spell ignorant without IGN.

These guys are owned by FOX News, is anyone surprised?

" Can't spell ignorant without IGN.These guys are owned by FOX News, is anyone surprised? "

Shit like that happen people should understand that, especially if they are getting it for free. I don't know who wrote the article but you should blame the main editor who published that piece of garbage. It really is a cheap move.

If you're talking about that comment Microsoft made about PSN being down, IGN weren't the only ones to post a story on it. But yeah, totally unnecessary.

I kinda hope that their site being down is not just them committing to their joke. I really hope it is down.

Karma is a bitch.

The last sentence under Lasting Appeal says: " Good job the offline splitscreen works so well, then." 

Which makes no sense.

I'm officially done with IGN albeit I only listened to some of their podcasts from time to time. This article/editorial was very tasteless and did not need to be published on a large site such as IGN. The whole pissing off and igniting a war with the fanboys is the LEAST of IGN's worries IMO. The publication of this article to me, seems like a horrible decision which would only lead to terrible relations with Sony. Doesn't seem very business savy.

" @Chabbs0: Thank you, agreed then. :) "

This seems like it's in poor taste.

Poetic justice.

hah! Good post/blog whatever its called :P

Looking back on this I like the use of periods after the yes or no in those pics. Just stands out and its pretty funny to me.

It was a cheap move, but it was still funny.

Cheap or not, Sony need to get their goddamn act together. This is fucking terrible and they're bleeding brand trust by the second.

And to me, but then I'm only a professional writer.  Good thing my opinion doesn't count for much in this case, then. "

OK as stupid as this is going to sound, I've been racking my brain trying to think of why that sentence doesn't sound right to me. Its the usage of the word 'job' that's making my sense of grammar take a walk off the map. After looking at the article again though I realized its on IGN UK so maybe its a UK sentence construction....or something. Fuck I don't know. I'm confused. :-/ "

" @Surkov: Are you talking about it from a grammatical perspective, or because they gave 8.5 for something that doesn't work? Cause as far as I can see the grammar is fine... but your picture is really small so maybe I'm reading it wrong. "

If it wasn't for the fact that we are still unsure if personal information for PSN users could have been compromised then I probably would have found this to be funnier. If it turns out to be true then later on this will seem like it was done in poor taste.

Bah. If your still getting annoyed at people bitching and whining over the "console wars" shit get over it. Who cares? Its IGN. One large a-hole games corporation is as bad as another.

You would think they were making jokes about Japan.  

.....oOoOoOo too soon.

Yeah, I've just read through that multiple times, and there isn't a grammatical error to be found. Maybe the could have hyphened split-screen...? "
