He really didn't do that in this case, and it's grossly unfair.

    In fact, it seems like he went OUT OF HIS WAY to do it - with the way the review is written, with the VIDEOS pointing out the negatives (that's particularly funny - and sad), and pointing out how he's a "disenfrachised" Sega fan. That these are guys in position of influence makes it that much worse.
    I agree. Where's the journalism in that? I am hesistant to buy 2k5 now. It makes no sense. One article seems intent on bashing and the other seems intent on praising. I've been skeptical about IGN for a while but, the Live and 2k reviews just seem to be taken form different angles. Why?
    Any how,I guess I'll wait for OS and Gamespot reviews before I buy.

        Re: Ign Review

        The articles on IGN labeling the site's writers being Sega/EA Sports "fanboys" crack me up the most. (The latest was Hillary's transformation from Sega "fanboy" to first-time fan of NBA Live.)

        What objective journalist/critic would agree to being labeled a "fanboy" by his own place of employment? Doesn't admitting to being a "fanboy" of a certain game throw all of that person's credibility out the window? If Hillary admits to being a "fanboy" of ESPN or any other company, then he should no longer be allowed to review that company's games. That would be like allowing the president of the Green Bay Packers' fan club to be a Packers beat writer for the Green Bay Press Gazette!

            all i'm going to say is ign.com is the same place that rated ID 2003 worst than live and 2K3 when I thought it was way better than those so I don't even care what they say anymore.

                THANK YOU.

                I've been reading this guy Asianflows posts, and people keep reiterating over and over to him the reasons WHY there's a problem with this obviously biased and completely ignorant review, but he keeps responding like an autistic child that seems to lack comprehension skills.

                anyways....

                I think we all know by now this kid Hillary has no concept of how basketball is supposed to be played and all he wants is NBA Street in reality....he's a moron and shouldnt be allowed to ever review a game again if he's going to contradict himself as embarrassingly bad as he did in this one.

                            You just put a whole lot of hope back in me. I forgot about ID and it's apparently underserving low ratings.

                                I don't understand why they took video of ESPN...but and ScreenShots of Live...do you not see any bias there?
