Well, bravo to IGN for pulling it. Maybe now they'll be more diligent and give professional writing and writers their due.
However Plugabugz, I don't exactly feel the need to criticize their TV section on those items you linked. I agree, it's horrible to think of those things as reviews, but I get the sense that TV really is a different medium with different styles of coverage. I'd like the write-ups fine if they were called something else, but what? Recommendations? Responses? I really am at a loss as to what to call them.
