I read Dave moan about the site design on Twitter, had to agree with him aswell. That site is so confusing and squashed together that it looks simply a mess. 

I don't mind IGN so much, except the site design. I haven't personally come across anything that I didn't care for. But I don't use the site too much, mainly just listen to their podcasts.

I only read ign for their TV reviews (Like south park and Lost) just for fun. For anything gamerelated, I use GB, kotaku or very rarely gamespot.

Well, you can't spell ignorant without IGN. I really don't trust their reviews all that much.

I rarely ever go to IGN these days.  The site is complicated and slow to load.  There are much better high profile sites out there.

I stopped visiting that site a long time ago. their reviews suck and the site design is awful.

Actually the US reviewer was completely wrong and bias in his comparisons. They took down the review, but if you can find it, you'll see why it's so idiotic (the review)."

They had Aaron Thomas (an American) re-review it; he gave it a 7.9. Yep, mistakes were made. Hopefully this will cause them to be cautious in the future."

Isn't aaron thomas a guy from gamespot?  "

It might be the same guy, though both the first and last name are common, so it could easily be two different people.

I think they updated the game after the review came out so the Mercenaries would work online. So it's not really their fault.

IGN lost me ever since the last site re-design. Man, its ugly and complicated. 

"Dont get me wrong, I really like IGN because of their editorials and reviews, but such mistakes are not forgivable."

IGN has been lowering in quality lately.

Yeah, that would be obvious.  They hadn't given any of the football or baseball management games such low scores so hope something happened to that jerk."

Come on, he shouldn't lose his job because of a bad review.You know....that's how this site was started.Granted, kayne and lynch's review wasn't terrible, but gerstmann did underrate it.  It's actually a pretty fun game, not super special though. This IGN guy is just wrong though. Still, one screw up shouldn't cause such a huge fuss. Constant though, yes. "

"First their review they said  Mercenary mode is not online in Resident Evil 5, however they were wrong. Then they said Gametrailers.com had interviewed an Id guy saying Rage will not come this year. However I listened to it multiple times, the id guy Todd said "Aaaaa... no, we'll  be out this year".Daym, what does that mean? This is even worse then what Game Spot had done."

OLD!

IGN lost it like 6 years ago when they fired David Smith and Dave Z left for Visual Concepts.  The guys they have doing reviews are either leftovers from the PC section or really annoying fanbois who were friends of friends of long time IGN staffers.  The PS3 guys they have are really dorky fanbois into the whole "make funny faces for my blog pic" kiddie nonsense.  The RE5 review is simply laughable. 

"GameRadar is also saying the Mercenaries mode is not online - that's two sites. Wait until the game is out before you attack them...if you're correct on Friday, then you can attack them."

They also said you couldn't invert the camera in star ocean 4 (you can).

What can you take away from this?  Hillary Goldstien just doesn't care anymore.  Every review he's written since GTA last year was sub-par

"OMG! You mean IGN made TWO factual errors?! THAT'S ALMOST THREE!

Seriously, they made a mistake. Oops. Who cares?

OMG! You mean IGN made TWO factual errors?! THAT'S ALMOST THREE!

have ign ever had it? i cant remember a time when they did.

Reviewers rarely have anything.  I haven't particularly trusted any reviewer for over a decade.  Never trusted any fully.

IGN is especially bad these days, I agree.  They said Orange Box's version of Half Life 2 on Xbox 360 was actually a port of the Xbox 1 version (completely factually wrong).

There seems to be a lot of people working at IGN that are completely incompetent and really shouldn't be employed in games at all.  They don't play the games, they don't know about games.

Seems like everyone is hating on IGN nowadays. Personally I like their reviews and they have good articles every now and then. There have been some issues that make them look bad though.

IGN still does good editorials, but despite all of the work they have done on their site it still is kind of crap. Especially when you use their search option. Often times I takes forever just to find the page for the game i'm looking for. Not to mention most of the writers are rumor mongers. "HALO DS WAZ REALLZ!! KID ICARUS AT E3!!!!!"

I think the information about Rage is correct. Unless Kotaku is also wrong.

IGN haven't had it for a long while.

what gamespot did was great because giantbomb is the phoenix that rose from the ashes

I agree, this is even worse than what Game Spot had done.  But what if they hadn't?  Then who would?

First their review they said  Mercenary mode is not online in Resident Evil 5, however they were wrong. Then they said Gametrailers.com had interviewed an Id guy saying Rage will not come this year. However I listened to it multiple times, the id guy Todd said "Aaaaa... no, we'll  be out this year".

Daym, what does that mean? This is even worse then what Game Spot had done.
