Gah just another reason to not go to IGN for nintendo coverage. At this point all that's left is rich and Peer for Super NVC.

Cool thing though she's leaving to work at the treehouse localization team.

Wow, this sucks! I mean great for, she's moved on to bigger and greater things > Nintendo Treehouse.
But she was was the shining light of IGN, full of spunk and personality, possibly the most colorful, exciting, most interesting and enthusiastic writer at IGN. Matt, Bozon, Fran and maybe Craig may of been the ultimate NintenTeam, but Audrey was the next best thing! Also, apperantly Rich(he wrote GREAT reviews, but he had the personality and charm of a stale bag of potato chips) has now jumped ship....

Honestly, is there ANY reason for Nintendo fans to even go to IGN anymore? Bah, it's going to take some time warming up to the inevitable new NintendDuo....Again, awesome for her, but IGN has now taken another massive blow.

I guess Rich is but honesty I only know him for hyping non news. As a site the Nintendo stuff has gone all downhill (lets be honest everything has gone down hill in my eyes expect the comics and PlayStation Divsison)

I think you summed it up in your first post pretty well Waveboy. This is actually pretty sad, since she was pretty much the whole Nintendo section of the site.
I always liked Audrey's reviews just because she was always excited for the games she was reviewing, and just an upbeat person in general. Looks like IGN is going the way of Gamespot now.

Nah IGN comics is still going stronger than ever. Also oddly enough their one of the only podcasts still going at IGN.

Sad to hear. I loved reading her stuff back when I was on MyIGN.

Ehh...no loss on my part. I stopped going to that IGNorant site in February. It's good to hear my favorite employee there is not only leaving that cesspool but literally joining the Nintendo ranks. THAT's her REAL passion.

people still go to IGN? Destructoid and Giant Bomb exist y'know.

I only went to IGN pretty much for the gameplay videos, and youtube made that irrelevant.

Yes, people still go to a site you don't. Shocking, I know.


I could care less what she does. Obviously she has her reasons.

Just for you.

Can't remember if she was good looking or not

If so, this is a terrible loss.

I remember when I used to use the Caps Lock key to write complete sentences.

Oh wait, no I don't.

They need to start practicing my love-based approach to posting. Remember guys, you kill more bees without vinegar.. or something like that.

Her reviews were really postive for IGN's standards. She also was kinda cute in a geeky kinda way. She will be missed. :3

I really don't go to the main IGN site often anymore (though I'm still a regular on some of their message boards), but Audrey was one of the few editors left with something resembling a genuine, non-generic personality.

For that reason I'm a little sorry to hear she's leaving the great undead husk that is IGN, but it sounds like she's leaving for her dream job. Good for her.

Aww, she was quite awesome. All the awesome people get awesome jobs at Nintendo, then we never hear awesome from them again.

Still, good for her, that'd be an awesome job. :3
