I think that IPL's weekly content is superb relative to other major leagues. I will tune into rebroadcasts all the time Fight Club especially is fantastically fun (though I preferred HyuN club myself) | ||

But did David Ting say that before or after IGN was bought? Because if I bought a company and they had a product that was losing them money (IPL) that would be one of the first things I'd cut. | ||

Also I wouldn't worry too much about IPL, I imagine they will keep it going. IGN doesn't review games, they advocate for them. Maybe people stopped reading after realizing IGN can't be taken seriously lol. | ||

Yeah that is extremely true. That said, who needs game reviews these days anyways. Basically you can tell what is going to be good or not way before it comes out. Reviews are mostly just for entertainment purposes nowadays. | ||

Well reviews work but only if you know the person that reviewed it and his/her tastes. Giantbomb does this well cause the reviewer aint just a name, you can see an hear these people on their site and after a while you know which games they like and not. | ||

Could quite possible mean the cancellation of IPL 6...even if not because the new owners don't want it, just because it is to soon since they have taken it over and such. | ||
