IGN is doing everthing they can to keep what was removed from the article from seeing the light of day. They are removing the content from people's comments in the Voodoo Brink review. For those of you who have not read it, here it is:
"Uh oh, time for some drama boys and girls. I felt that Joystiq's Brink review was fishy, it almost came off as if it was written by someone that had spent very little time with the game. I was also pretty sure that Griffin McElroy was one of the editors that I played in the media game with. So, I decided to do a little digging, and confirmed that I had played with him while he was under his Xbox Live gamertag called "The Pencil Rain". The kicker is Mr. McElroy has only earned a total Brink gamerscore value of 225, primarily from achievements that pretty much unlock themselves in the opening hour or two of play. I had over a couple hundred points just after the media playtest, and I'd imagine that's where he left off too. Xbox Live says he was playing Brink just a couple hours ago, yet again the value is 225. In my picture of his gamerscore details below you'll see that he hasn't completed either campaign, let alone the "what if" missions.
This puts a pretty big black mark on Joystiq's journalistic integrity in my eyes. If I had to guess the amount of time he spent playing it'd be a few hours at best, and from my point of view that's extremely unprofessional. But great job on that 2/5 score Griffin, way to shaft Splash Damage and Bethesda by putting in an absolute minimal amount of effort into your review."
"Sony PlayStation 3 Memory Card Adapter -- you buy it, you use it once, and it instantly becomes trash, just like that!"
That is exactly why I started the US only needs one PS3 memory card adapter project. I bought one, sent it to someone who wanted to use it, then they will send it to someone else and so on and so forth.
