IGN reviews Generation NEX... in alternate dimension
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.
