I couldn't help but laugh as soon as I saw this on their front page. I can only imagine the flame was they generated within their community (I dare not look at the comments).

@dagas: That review was written 8 years ago and Aaron Boulding hasn't worked at IGN for over 5 years. Why do you still care?

I remember making a poll like this on a Nerf gun mod forum when I was 10. It was totally their fault for locking my "shooting darts out of ur but" thread.

When Will Smith ascends and becomes an Erogenous Cloud, he'll make us all feel good. Sooo goood.

@kingzetta: I hate you goddamn comfortador kids who think you can spoil anything you want without consequences. In my day you would have been chained to a tree and penetrated by all manner of beasts as punishment for your sins.

Is it really too much to take 1 minute of your useless life to edit your post?

Is it even a port? Regardless, Relic knows how to make PC games.

It's kind of sad that Daggerfall had better mouse support. I hope they patch it in in the future, because, it's really the only satisfying way for me to play the game.

I don't trust IGN, I will wait for more reviews.

Can you guys please give me your reasons why we shouldn't trust IGN? Do you have some secret knowledge about them or something?

IGN Ratings for Metro 2033 (PC)Graphics - 8 IGN Ratings for Metro 2033 (Xbox 360) Graphics - 8 Overall 6.9 Here is an example, sir.

It says not an average next to the score

He was talking about how the PC and 360 received equal scores on graphics.

They're not comparing them to each other, but rather, to other games on those respective platforms. However, those score boxes are dumb. I'm not sure why you would pay more attention to the score than the actual review.

And a shitload of examples is anything but useless. Theories are built upon observations - I draw my conclusions and I don't want to prove anything to anybody.

Shitload of examples?

Ao2: 40th Day... IGN exclusive review: 8.5 ... review embargo over: 6s and 7s are pouring in. There are many examples like this and I have a feeling it will be the same way with Dead Island.

I really hope you don't draw your conclusions from your one, weak example. I could probably use an equal amount of "observations" to draw a "conclusion" or "theory" that you're fucking animals.

and IGN is one of the places where it blossoms.

Another baseless statement. You're on a roll here.

I'm not an "insider" or anything, a plethora of examples is all I have - plus some statements from people in the business about these business methods. But frankly, it's not important to me to prove anything to you so I won't dig that stuff out for you. Cheers.

You are impugning a journalist's integrity. Not just his skills as a writer, but his morals. If you can't even bother to provide us with anything besides your "plethora" of useless examples, then you should shut up.

As for the scores: On more than one occasion IGN had exclusive first reviews with scores way above the average.

My eyes are open. Your undeniable proof has set me on the path truth and steered me away from IGNorance.

And yes, if you're accusing someone of taking bribes, you should have some shred of proof.
