I've been using IGN for a while and whilst some reviewers are better than others it has often be the case that their reviews can be trusted.
What I haven't been fond of in recent times is the amount of obtuse advertising, banners and pop-ups that have actually made it impossible to use the site. A recent example included Alien Isolation (a game they waxed lyrical about until everyone's pre-orders had been delivered... In fact games developers can almost solely blame IGN for the death of pre-ordering games) where the banner blocked 3/4 of the page making the site virtually useless. My current issue is the Borderlands Collection advert on IGN's mobile site which blocks the page entirely when opening the homepage rendering the site completely unusable - there isn't even a way to exit the advert or stop it from appearing, it disables the site completely.
So, at least a few weeks away from IGN for me, such a shame as despite the occasional questionable hype or review I've stuck with it for many years.
