that\'s really weird.... they must have been hacked, and whoever did it keeps reposting it, perhaps???

What other explanation is there, cos it wasn\'t there when I clicked on it and there was no evidence of it on the main page or in the archives...

Obvious from the get go that it is not legit; could the explanation be any more ludicrous. Still, somewhat amusing.

I doubt someone hacked into the site just to post something like that.  I think that the IGN crew just put that up in order to draw in the hits, seeing as how they need all they can get these days.

They would never do that... they need their image as an objective games reporter.  If they started posting **** like that on any day other than april 1, they would soon lose all fanbase, because you wouldnt\' know what you could trust from their site.

there was no question whatsoever that it was fake, like everyone says it\'d be all over the net and it\'d be all over the net FAST

But, I doubt the ign crew put that up there, I\'m with fatal it\'d destroy their reputation to do that
