When in doubt, erroneously make shit up, then amend it later and hope no one notices. Or something. More quality, reliable, professional games journalism from IGN.
If you want the full rundown on exactly what transpired in the above review clusterfuck, check out this thread of NeoGAF which chronicled its spread from IGN, to Twitter, and back to IGN again. Also, reviewer Daemon Hatfield’s delightful community blog response.
Good read, that.
IGN is the McDonalds of game journalism - they’re shit, but people still go to them because they’re a recognizable name. With that in mind, there’s no real need for them to up their game. They’re already making bank, why would they bother spending time, money and resources on people who are actually capable of doing a good job?
