Title: IGN charging now!!!
Post by: kirath on October 25, 2001, 06:49:24 AM

I went to go look at a preview for NFL 2k2 and was asked how I would like to pay for that...

I think that sucks.  DailyRadar is gone and now IGN wants to charge for their reviews.  Too bad, I know we all need to make money but I don\'t want to pay to read an online review.  I can just goto another web site. And I will...

PSX2Central here I come!

So do the rest of you think its crap or just business..??

You can just wait 2 weeks. Everything that goes on insider is on the normal news in about 1 or 2 weeks after its on insider. Or you can just check out another gaming site

I never actually liked IGN. They never had what I wanted. I\'ll take a PS2 site anyday. Like this wonderful site :D .

Yeah, if anything I\'ll read sites dedicated to the specific system I\'m looking at.  It may be biased, but they always will have all the info you are looking at.

The only multi-platform web site I\'ll take a gander at is Gamespot.  I just like \'em.  Like a fuzzy kitten, or a cute puppy.  I just like \'em!

Yeah, but before you could access alot of reviews.  Now you get taken to the Subscribe page when you click on reviews for games like The Bouncer and Dynasty Warriors 2.  You can\'t even look at older games anymore.

And they have a snowball-based messageboards ( if you have been to one, you should know they are probably the most fastest messageboards out there - but also the dullest looking ones ) - and you can choose a personal icon ( from a pre-set list ) - IF you are a paying IGNinsider!

How desperate is that?
