I am always redirected to IGN AU, which has terrible 'journalists' like Cam Shea and Patrick Kolan working for it, and hardly any content.

How can I access the U.S site, along with the U.S and U.K reviews?

This is part of Labor's Freedom Filter no doubt.

Kotaku is polite enough to have a link to the US site. All I can suggest is petitioning IGN to provide an option to view the real content.

Going through something like anonymouse will work but be slow and full of ads

Visiting the US IGN won't solve that problem.

Pretty sure you just need to click the scores in the sidebar for a certain game and it will take you to that review.

Greg Miller is awesome.

You can still access the US reviews and whatnot, although admittedly the layout now makes it much more complex than it should be. If you click on 'view all latest updates' then 'reviews', for instance, it takes you to a page of all the latest reviews.

Alternatively, stick with IGN AU, I'm interviewing Gamers4Croydon on there next month. >_>

Cheers, Jickle. The previous layout was much better.

IGN.au still exists? Had no idea as I always go to the US site.

Anyhow, load up googles home page (NOT google tool bar), type "ign.com" then it will give you a link to the US site, and box to search in for whatever you like - that is a million times better than using the US IGN search box, which is next to useless these days.

Me:"Hello there ign search box, how are you doing there?"

Search thingo "Well I'm pretty useless since they googlised our site, just don't even bother, use the real google"

No gaming history? Are you talking about some OTHER Cam Shea, that dude knows his stuff man, or if he didn't he seemed to fake it pretty damn well when I met him.

Also he interviewed Alan Alcorn (mr pong) on the same day I was at ACMI for Game On, and he went the following day to to the same free 1 hour lecture from Al Alcorn that I also went to.

Yup, no sense of history whatsoever.
