Topic: Matt Casamassina Leaves IGN

There he goes... He popped up in yesterday's Daily Fix too.

IGN just got a little more credible.

Not enough to be taken seriously but every lil bit helps.

2 comments in and already bashing! That's not immature at all.

So nobody here can say this is a good thing?

Someone was a huge fan

For.... Apple? Bleh. Should have gone to GameSpot or another game reviewing site.

But, I don't really care. Don't pay attention to IGN. I don't dislike it, I just prefer GameSpot.

I havent really paid a whole lot of attention to IGN for the last year as Ive grown really used to using some smaller independent sites, such as this one and a few others. Gameradar and there absolute hilarious articles, and I just forget to ever really go to IGN anymore. Sounds like the guy has a future ahead of him anyways, dont know if its a good move or bad, Ive really never seen to much a difference in IGNs reviews than anywhere elses.

He was Okay when I read his articles, so I'm not really emotional about this. But I'm interested in where he will go once he's with Apple. It seems like a very odd place to be to after writing for a video game site.

YES!! Maybe the rest of the horrible IGN staff members will leave too.

Bashing immature? Depends on who you are bashing

What? I actually liked Matt Casamassina. He was the only one who wrote decent articles.

He seemed to be a cool guy sometimes, but too many of his articles/editorials focused on hardcore this and hardcore that, as if it had a true meaning. Hey the dude liked Metroid and Zelda more than anything else though, so he was a okay in my book.

Is any game "journalism" ever truly credible?

Not all, but some are. Like Nintendo Life

I don't know that anything can make IGN more credible at this point, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.

I actually liked Matt C before he started creating those BS negative Wii Articles...As it stands Craig and that other Nintendo Retro Lover(forgot his name) seem to be the only credible reviewers. 95% of the IGN editors hate the Wii, their opnions on Red Steel 2 were so ridiclous and stupid....I can't take any of them seriously, especially that fat lazy nintendo hater that's obsessed with Ghostbusters. Anyways, I don't go to IGN that much anymore, NIntendoLife is my new home

Also, I can't believe he's going to be reviewing Apple games instead of everything Nintendo Wii...Talk about a giant unexciting down grade in my opinion.

Honestly, I wish him the best but I still can't get over all the poor excuses he passed off as reviews. IGN's Wii team needs a complete makeover but as AlexSays, this is a step in the right direction.

who the hell is Matt Casamassina? he will be very missed

As much as I hate saying this, I agree with you!

Pre-Wii days I enjoyed reading his articles

Then I started looking elsewhere, which led me to being here, and I can't be happier being a staff member here!

Excellent. Now they only need to get rid of Daemon Hatfield, and IGN might actually become respectable.
