I'm thinking that perhaps this was a cry for help from Asstr0. You know, if this was the funniest thing he's seen all day, then he must be having a pretty lousy day.
In my experience, most "professional" reviews sites aren't very good. Whit that in mind, I don't think IGN is worse, than Gamespy, Gamespot, or whatever. But I don't think they're better either.
