Just wondering if any forumers know when IGN.com do there reviews for games (GB)

Do they do it before it comes out or once it hits shelves?

Usually before they comes out, but don't look forward to their GB review - you're most likely going to have to pay for it through IGN Insider...

IGN changed a lot. They charge for every new reviews now. It's unacceptable, I'm not visiting their site anymore. They can go to hell.

Gamespot is a much better place to get reviews, and they'll probably release their GB review before it comes out too.

IGN sucks now all the good stuff is only available on the Pay to Asscess Insider Club. Its such a rip off. The internet is about the free flow of information and IGN goes and charges for it.

I doubt that they will keep it secret Sherack...they will probably have a review out for it...just no big interviews for the non-insiders (me)...

Yeah, you should never have to pay to gain info on the internet, after all, that is its primary purpose.

But did you notice that Gamespot now make you pay if you want to use their "high speed servers". they say it goes over 100kbps garunteed, which would be very nice but it cost $10 a month.

like other forummers before me, IGN is no longer a trusted source to check ratings for games. gamespot is pretty accurate and i expect them to have a rating for swgb the same day the game comes out on shelves (they do it for ps2 games)...
