Misogynist Lowlights From Indie Developer Reality Show
Earlier this year, game website IGN opened its doors to a batch of small, independent developers, giving them an opportunity of a lifetime: to appear on a reality show and potentially embarrass themselves on camera with quickly conceptualised and cringe-worthy game concepts.
Charlie Sheen Plays Call Of Duty – Is Winning
Well maybe it’s not actually Charlie Sheen playing Black Ops, but this parody video from IGN is actually pretty hilarious and intersperses sound bytes from his various, batshit insane, interviews into an online multiplayer match. It’s actually really well done!
IGN Kicks Off Fund Drive For Haiti Relief
A life-size Lancer replica and an original painting from Bungie are among items IGN will auction next week in a 12-hour “webathon” to raise money for relief efforts in Haiti.

Kotaku Sneaks Into IGN AU Awards Bash
It’s not often one gets invited to a rival media outlet’s party. But that’s what happened on Thursday night when I found myself at the IGN AU Select Awards, rubbing shoulders with these three idiots gentlemen.
Report: Dead Space Extraction Will Not Have MotionPlus Support

IGN Goes Hands-On With ‘Flock’
Because, I dunno, herding animals around is fun or something, there’s an game coming soon via Capcom, called “Flock”, first noticed this week when the developer unveiled its E3 lineup. More or less, you’re manning an alien spaceship that’s making off with flocks, gaggles, coveys, clowders, murders, cackles, prides etc. of animals. Your means of encouragement? Why, a death ray of course. PETA should love the shit out of this game. IGN describes it in very Lemmings-friendly terms. If that’s your cup of tea, it’ll be out via Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and for PC download, soon.

IGN Signs Content Deal With Xbox Live
Can’t say I’ve ever used the Inside Xbox section on the 360 myself, but hey, maybe you do. Then again, maybe you don’t, and nobody does, which is why Microsoft have announced that they’ve signed a deal with IGN to bring the site’s IGN Strategise segments to Xbox Live. Or, more specifically, that they’re bringing the site’s IGN Strategise segments to Xbox Live, and they’ll be hosted by Jessica Chobot. Neat way to get the IGN brand on Xbox Live without worrying about editorial concerns, that (Strategise being a video hints and tips section).
