IGN reviews are actually kinda spot-on cause it's pretty consistent with Metacritic. I don't why people hate IGN though........

Probably because their scores are factored into Metascores so highly.

Deadly Premonition - 68 metacritic average, 39 reviews, IGN score of 20.

1 100 review
14 80-89 reviews
13 70-79 reviews
3 60-69 reviews
3 50-59 reviews
3 40-49 reviews
1 35 review
1 20 review - IGN's

10 scores below 68, 1 at 68, 28 above 68.
In addition, if you remove their score and average the others, it goes up to 73, although that's not perfectly accurate as you'd have to figure out the weight other reviewers hold.

Either way, I'd say IGN has pretty heavy influence on the Metacritic average. The reason it's consistent is because IGN drags the average to it's own score, and even more so with games that have less reviews in general.

Fuck IGN, so sick and tired of their backpeddaling, and BS is right, they hold far too much sway on themeta scores hen they review games like fucking children.
