September 8, 200520 yr Link The basics: News Corporation has agreed to pay $650 million for the IGN network. This includes all of the game sites (gamespy, etc. as well), Rotten Tomato, AskMen.com, and a group of sites hosted by Vault and the Planet. They have placed the acquisition under control of the Fox Interactive Media unit. Bottomline: Expect even worse and more heavily biased coverage in the near future (Q4 2005). And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had

September 8, 200520 yr Hmm,can't say that I give a damn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You will, once they start imposing conservative moral beliefs and right wing propaganda into every article and review they publish. Have you ever watched Fox News? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
September 8, 200520 yr Oh hell, right-wing builds character. Seriously, I don't understand why anyone cares about it. It's not like they're going to start putting "Bush is god" themes into the game articles. At most, it's just something else for them to make money off of.
September 8, 200520 yr Hmm,can't say that I give a damn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You will, once they start imposing conservative moral beliefs and right wing propaganda into every article and review they publish. Have you ever watched Fox News? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't be silly, folks. Fox will want to turn a profit. Sure, the news might be biased, but the company is in business to make money, and they'll do what it takes to make money. Folks thinking that it will make games more "conservative" are just pushing the usual left leaning panic button. Newscorp own Dish Network, also. It's not like they've refused to show CNN. Remember, the Simpsons used to be considered almost subversive by a lot of folks, and yet it's been a Fox show since day one. In fact, Fox shows all those terrible reality programs. Now, if that doesn't prove they're not bound by a so-called "conservative" view of human decency, then I don't know what does. Face it, this is just another example of folks taking a view because the company in question is Fox. If anyone is prejudiced around here, it's our left leaning friends who see every investment Fox makes as a personal affront. Get a grip, folks, I doubt if you see any difference except for better funding.

September 8, 200520 yr Don't underestimate Fox's influence. They single handedly made EVERY other TV station change the winner from Gore to Bush simply because it's the FOX NETWORK!!!:!@ OMFGZORS!@!!! At least Fox News is upfront about their bias :D
September 9, 200520 yr The problem with the internet these days is these goddamned corporations buying out sites like this. The net use to be fun in the late 90's when it was getting popular and now we have these companies going around buying out cool sites then turning them into sh!t because they really don't know anything about them.

Have you ever watched Fox News? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah! Look at Family Guy! It used to be awesome now it's a pinnacle of Christian values and decency!!! If anything, maybe IGN's reviews will get better.
September 9, 200520 yr None of these sites had good reviews anyways. Only Computer Gaming World has decent reviews. The rest of the reviewers are illiterate monkeys. I'm serious, I saw a special on 60 minutes.

September 9, 200520 yr He's a swede. They're always like that. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 9, 200520 yr Probably best to stay tuned and keep listening. Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧
September 9, 200520 yr I'm guessing with that happening IGN will only be able to write articles for "wholesom" games Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
September 9, 200520 yr ROFL, Liberals complaining about the conservative bias in the media. How ironic. Spreading beauty with my katana.

DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
