I'm beginning to hate IGN for what they're doing now, and I've hoped you've noticed, too...
These guys have been holding E3 and Shoshinkai (Spaceworld) footage and screens for months now, and are JUST now releasing them. Why release something as new for January 2002 when it's really old (Metroid, Turok vids) from 2001? This makes my respect for this site even lower, even though their content is currently king-everyone goes there.
They've also been slowly trickling info back to the main page from insider's previous months and posting them as new stories again when $hit gets slow, so it seems like they're always "updated". And of course, there's the obvious twisting of the same info to make it more appealing for their respective sites (IGNxbox, IGNPs2, IGNcube), when there really is only one story (recent sales reports, multiplatform game announcements, and other status data)...
Wierder still is the fact that no other site has this "updated" info from more than 5-8 months ago. Was IGN the only online site that went to E3/Spaceworld backdoor conferences? Hell no. So where's the info? Think about it for a minute; something really fishy is going on.
I hope I'm not the only one who's noticed this. So defend or bash on in this thread!!!
