Everyone knows IGN is in it for the money, and rates games as such. Name a game that they totally failed at reviewing, and give the rating you think it ACTUALLY earned.
Example:
Darkest of Days
IGN score: 4/10
My score: 7/10
I give this score since I beleive the game wasn't terrible. Sure it had some flaws, but the game was solid and IGN was way too harsh in their review, mostly because their BIASED and CORRUPT. But who isn't these days right?

# Please do not criticize my review of the game. Keep those opinions to yourself, but feel free to wine all you want about IGN.

You are an idiot. The people at IGN have been releasing great reviews all the time. I would trust their rating over your stupid 14 year old rating any day. You are a child who doesn't understand the fundamentals of a good game.

IGN Gave it a 4.
Gamespot gave it a 4.5.
Gamerankings gave it a 48-53%.
Metacritic gave it a 45-54%.

That's 4 of the top game rating sites all saying it's crap. You are a 14 year old. Get over yourself.

It's impossible not to be biased when they're reviewing it BASED ON THEIR OWN OPINION.

IF your opinion is different, then so be it - just don't whine about it.

Opinion is one thing, but when 4 entirely separate sites say it's crap, chances are it's crap.

Ive played and enjoyed lots of games people say are crap, and have hated games people cant get enough of, so i have pretty much stopped listening to what everybody else says and i just get the game and try it for myself

I think that they rated Halo ODST wayyy too high for what it was.

I think the IGN review ratings are perfect. I completely agree with them.

Klaus, just calm down about my age and get past that. Granted, I did rant a little too much in the intro, but just list a game you thought IGN rated like crap. Also, why would you care if I like the game or not? It is my money, and I'll spend it in what way I see fit. Just calm down about it. And to all who think the contrary. all reviews are not perfect, it is all dependent of opinion.

True, but... try to find a good review for darkest of days. IGN got that game right.

And I do think that ODST was rated a little high.

I feel inspired to play games that suck. ok no i dont but i think that if you play games just because they got good reviews your a retard.

i like what abcize said. Ive goteen games and played them then looked at what people have rated them and most of the games i get have low ratings, ive only been truly upset with one game, maybe two ive played (one of them being Alone in the Dark, pretty sure everybody else hated that game as well)

Uuuurgh Alone in the Dark sucked. Alan Wake is probably gonna kick ass though.
