IGN Reviews Summary

The company enjoys a solid reputation for its extensive coverage and reliable resources in the gaming community, with many customers appreciating its timely updates and engaging content.

While customer service experiences are generally positive, issues such as excessive promotional emails and occasional delivery delays have been noted. Overall, the company must address these criticisms to enhance customer satisfaction and maintain its standing in the industry.

This site makes it obvious that they trade early access for good reviews. They will rate the worst bull$#*! a 8/10, just to keep the money flowing.

Bad, untrustworthy, hyping games that are crap... this site is all that is awful and sad about the games industry.

IGN Scale goes from 6/10 = utter garbage and game dev that cannot help us get money to 9/10 average to 10/10 good. This site is literally a scam in that regard.

I have spent a lot of money on $#*! games based on reviews from this site.

7.8/10
December 9, 2015

IGN is one of the most well known video game review sites in America, and across the Globe. This is the unfortunate fact for any gamer that is not that knowledgable in the field of video games, for they would be fooled by every review posted by IGN. They recommend games that reek of cancer and 12 year old squeakers, such as any modern Call Of Duty game. There are not enough memes in the world to cure some of the reviews I have had to read on IGN. The fact that they give reviews like 8/10s and above to games that are simply copies of the past year with slightly better graphics. 7.8/10 on Pokemon ORAS for too much water? How much worse can you get at reviewing a game that was just fine? If you have the money of the Triple A companies, enough email accounts and determination, you will be able to stick your hand up IGN's butt and make them your puppet. They will say anything for COD games for the right price, such as giving it a higher rating them games that have actual decent storylines. 9/11 was an inside job, and every day we stray further from God's light. Thanks.

There was a thing - Battlefield 3 came out - IGN said "It's a COD killer". Couple months later another Call of Duty game came out (I dont even remember which because there are too many of those). Guess what IGN said then? "COD is so great omg ololol..."
How can you trust some sellout like that?

All I see on the site is about movies and TV shows I'm not even interested in those, not much about games. I would look elsewhere if you want gaming content.

This Site should never be trusted. They have worse censorship than the Chinese. The people who run the boards are nasty people.

Resistance: Burning Skies, I bought this game because I wanted a fully featured, dual analog, portable shooter. That is not what I got. This game is not bad, but it is not truly good either.

The campaign is fine. It gets the job done. It doesn't excel at story or voice acting, but it doesn't bug you either. To put it simply, it drives you through the game, but you never actually care about it. The levels are decently set up. The enviroments are varried.
The gameplay is decent, if not a little generic. Nothing you havent seen before.
The weapons have a decent variety, although there aren't that many of them. And they will be given to you as you need the throughout the game.

I love this website
February 10, 2015

I love this website. When it comes to certain games like the Grand Theft Auto series, I sometimes like to start a separate games and use cheats just to mess around. This website has tons of cheats available, even for some of the more obscure games. It's quick and easy to find what you're looking for.

Even though IGN is a good service, some of the reviews on the site is somewhat lacking. Mostly of the reviews on IGN is really good and well written. I have my doubts. IGN also has a YouTube Channel that has very good content, and has some partnered channels that have good content.

I've used IGN 5 about 5-6 times overall.

They have always come through on their delivery, although once or twice I had to wait a bit due to high demand at the time.

The reason for a 4 star review is due to the fact that once they get your e-mail adress they will spam you with discount codes mercilessly. I probably get 4 e-mails a week from them on a good week. They are always from different random addresses too, so you can't block them. These are just the ones the spam filter doesn't already catch.

So, I wouldn't say they are bad, but, use a 'temporary' or 'junk' e-mail address when ordering.

It's not all bad though, just the spam thing annoyed me. The prices are very good most of the time with a discount code.

Defiantly trust worthy site the reviews is very creditable I cannot recommend IGN enough compared to the competition. It is my opinion that they're honest, unbiased and certainly appear to enjoy games unlike some other sites!
All of their new reviews have videos which is great to watch on my iPhone and these are kept to a sensible length. The news section is worth checking on a daily basis as is kept up-to-date.
The only area of improvement which i'm sure they'll get to is more coverage of iPhone games..

My favorite site not just for video game news and reviews, but also for anything entertainment related. Great interface and easy to read. My only complaint is the amount of ads that pop up right over the article you are reading.

People on the message boards are bullies. Not only that, but the moderators don't do their job. Someone jerk called me a b**** for no reason whatsoever. I even reported him to the moderators. Guess what? They DID NOT delete the post. And I was banned from that site as well. Why? Because I was being insulted? I was bullied on this site for no reason whatsoever. Probably because I'm autistic. Not only that as well, but the new design is horrible. They are very Anti-Nintendo and only like the M for Mature games. Not only GameSpot's, but the majority of their reviews are way beyond what I give them as well. And because of all the countless bullies on their message boards, it's the worst site on the internet. That's about it.
