Check out this review for Batman Begins:
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/625/625794p1.html

It's just a copy/paste of an IM conversation between two people who work there with a number score attached. What?

This is excellent.

I'm not going to read it. We need to save these URLs for future fun, though.

Funny then, how pretty much on the mark they end up being for once.

I know if I ever wanted anything from IGN, it's that they provided a more consistently professional looking format for writing reviews, and not you know, working on that starting to make sense thing.

Hey, man, I think it's pretty obvious what he means. IGN uses Arial. How the fuck can I take them seriously without serif fonts?

Scandal!

http://cube.ign.com/articles/626/626615p2.html

Apparently the IGN Cube guy didn't like the IM-review that the rest of the IGN guys wrote and decided to actually write his own review. It's written in the standard IGN review style where they talk about how the game
