IGN is Totally Racist

Racism in video games has pretty much been the "in"-topic since Resident Evil 5 came out (as well as the weeks prior to release) and I've found more evidence to support the industry's growing racist ways. IGN is a site you may know, but they are hiding their evil ways behind a thin layer of mayonnaise-driven journalism.

IGN's recent review of Hasbro Family Game Night: Scrabble may seem like nothing out of the ordinary, but look closely and you can see the fiery hate in IGN's pants! Just look at the letters in the accompanying screenshot, along with the quote "What's a four-letter word for potato?" This is proof without a doubt that IGN is inhabited by a bunch racists and nazis! Stop the presses. Stop the internet. Stop the hate and please appreciate the way that I made you say that IGN is race...ist. Fun Fact #69: Just in case you can't tell, I'm joking and being 100% sarcastic. I just saw the picture and thought that their could be someone out there that actually would believe something ridiculous as this. If that wasn't clear enough, then I shall leave you with this: I do not think IGN is racist, nor do I believe that Resident Evil 5 is racist. That is all on the topic of racism, now onto the subject of Hasbro Family Game Night.

Thoughts on Hasbro Game Night with more sausage!

I sort of have a love/hate feeling towards this Hasbro Family Game Night "shiznit". I would love to play Scrabble and Yahtzee on XBLA, both by myself and online with my fellow gamers (even Battleship and Connect 4 interest me). The problem is the fact that each game is its own separate game and each one costs 800MS points ($10). This is a pretty hefty price to pay for something as simple as Connect Four, or even Scrabble. With that said, I honestly think I may give in and purchase Scrabble even though I'm not a fan of the pricing. I just can't help the fact that I love Scrabble like a spider-baby loves tea with crack-sprinkles. It would be nice to see a bundle that packaged all 4 games for 2000MS points ($25), but I doubt we'll see anything like that.

I am currently downloading Hasbro Family Game Night right now, along with the trials of the four currently available games, and I shall report back with a more detailed opinion in due time. Are they all pure ripoffs? Is there enough in each (or any) game that could warrant a $10 price tag? Do they come with cake, pie, or cannoli? All these questions and more shall be answered in roughly 69 minutes.

For those interested, here are the games available as of today (3/18/09):

- Battleship
- Connect Four
- Scrabble
- Yahtzee
