Choosing to buck the going trend, IGN has
declared Messiah's Generation NEX "even better than the original", earning it a perfect 10/10 in performance
with a 9.5/10 total score. Earlier reviews gave it poor marks for compatibility, easily
the most important requirement of any replacement console. IGN devotes the majority of the review to the pretty
packaging, nice design, and wireless controllers, glossing over the compatibility. Don't they know: it's the games,
stupid. They write, "In all the games we played, we were unable to notice graphical glitches or slowdown, a marked
improvement over most emulator programs." It's feasible they were unaware of the complaints, but if they'd done
their due diligence it would have turned up. When a major Internet retailer actually removes the product from their
shelves for failing to live up to its claims, then IGN grants it a near perfect rating while failing to even
acknowledge a history of problems, it smacks of negligence at best.[Thanks, InfectedZero and RedWolf]
