A crappy review site that gives Call of Duty games and Madden games near perfect scores just because they are bribed to do so.

<< Not an endorsement or advertisement. >> IGN is one of the more popular mainstream online sources for the latest news on video games. IGN has recently expanded to include film information, including movie reviews, as well. Is very unpopular with the more niche gamer for their overt catering to mainstream tastes and interests. IGN is largely characterized by its poorly written reviews and haphazard game ratings. Known for giving inflated review scores to very popular or hyped games in order to drive sales for their advertisers and corporate sponsers.

IGN (or should I say HGG Hating great games) is a really shitty game review website that has dumb asses give a low rating because they are bad at a game. They even give horrible reviews to really good games

A video game review site, characterized by biased, poorly written reviews. Worships any new Call of Duty game that comes out, and gives games they don't like (RTS games, adventure games without guns and shooting, any game exclusively for PC or PS3) bad ratings just as an attempt to please their dark overlords, Microsoft, EA, and Activision.
Plus, it is owned by News Corporation (Does FOX News and Rupert Murdoch ring a bell?)

"Internet Gaming Network". A vast site built for "reviewing" video games that is actually used as an Xbox worship shrine.
Anything that isn't on Xbox gets rated lower.
Anything on Xbox that is an FPS that isn't Call of Duty or Halo gets rated lower.
Anything relatively fun gets rated lower.
But if it's Call of Duty on Xbox, it gets rated near perfect scores. And IGN vowed to "never give out perfect scores. No game is perfect." Fucking assholes.
Most of the "reviews" are bias as Hell, and the games always get rated depending on what console it's on and how much the company that owns the game they're "reviewing" bribes them.
A perfect example for IGN's shitty-ness are their "reviews" for the new Madden NFL games. All of them are rated high-as-fuck even though Madden games are the same bullshit every year, just with different character designs.
IGN has never, and will never, write a good review that isn't about a game made by their gods EA, Activision, and Microsoft.
Did I mention they were also owned by a news broadcast? Something like FOX News? That would make a lot a sense.
