I love this website
February 10, 2015

I love this website. When it comes to certain games like the Grand Theft Auto series, I sometimes like to start a separate games and use cheats just to mess around. This website has tons of cheats available, even for some of the more obscure games. It's quick and easy to find what you're looking for.

I've ordered gold from them 3+ times, and I recently ordered powerleveling from 81-85. Always delivered gold within 3 hours, quite cheap if you google "ignmax discount codes." Great website... never let me down. While I believe they're Chinese (as witnessed by the name in Chinese characters when you email their hotmail account), they're still a great, cheap service. Their customer service is a bit bad, but they do what you pay them to.

I've used IGN 5 about 5-6 times overall.

They have always come through on their delivery, although once or twice I had to wait a bit due to high demand at the time.

The reason for a 4 star review is due to the fact that once they get your e-mail adress they will spam you with discount codes mercilessly. I probably get 4 e-mails a week from them on a good week. They are always from different random addresses too, so you can't block them. These are just the ones the spam filter doesn't already catch.

So, I wouldn't say they are bad, but, use a 'temporary' or 'junk' e-mail address when ordering.

It's not all bad though, just the spam thing annoyed me. The prices are very good most of the time with a discount code.

The best channel for gaming news. Always look. All the news they cover first. And it does not matter how important this is, they always tell about it.

Best site for gaming, worth the $20 to join - You have to pay like $20/year to join this site, but it is worth it due to all of the great reviews and the ability to participate in the forums. It is often hard to trust game reviews on the internet, but IGN has very reliable reviews.

Good walkthroughs
March 22, 2018

I go usually for walkthroughs (their wiki) and sometimes their top or best 10-25 games to decide what to get.

The walkthrough are helpful and have good tips. I benefit from the site.

There was a thing - Battlefield 3 came out - IGN said "It's a COD killer". Couple months later another Call of Duty game came out (I dont even remember which because there are too many of those). Guess what IGN said then? "COD is so great omg ololol..."
How can you trust some sellout like that?

I have purchased from this site twice before and received gold quickly. This last time, I have heard nothing, not been able to contact them, called and left voicemail, left several messages. I am disputing this with Paypal right now. But I will never use them again. I am going back to KCQ.com. Never a problem and support has always been there.

Even though IGN is a good service, some of the reviews on the site is somewhat lacking. Mostly of the reviews on IGN is really good and well written. I have my doubts. IGN also has a YouTube Channel that has very good content, and has some partnered channels that have good content.

Resistance: Burning Skies, I bought this game because I wanted a fully featured, dual analog, portable shooter. That is not what I got. This game is not bad, but it is not truly good either.

The campaign is fine. It gets the job done. It doesn't excel at story or voice acting, but it doesn't bug you either. To put it simply, it drives you through the game, but you never actually care about it. The levels are decently set up. The enviroments are varried.
The gameplay is decent, if not a little generic. Nothing you havent seen before.
The weapons have a decent variety, although there aren't that many of them. And they will be given to you as you need the throughout the game.

I haven't personally tried this site but I think they have a sister site ign5.com in which I have used.

There prices are not that cheap however their discount codes really make them a competitive gold seller on the market.

They have really good english when they talk to you online however not so great on the phone when they ask you to verify your details.

Other than that, I wouldnt have not used their service if it wasn't for their discount offer.

I would recommend their service to others since they are polite and willing to give discount codes if you ask.

9,5/10 - just OK
June 28, 2017

Their score system is just simply bad. Every second game gets 9/10, even the mediocre ones. I read their articles from time to time but nothing more.

All I see on the site is about movies and TV shows I'm not even interested in those, not much about games. I would look elsewhere if you want gaming content.

I placed my order 5 days ago, I have had up to 2 different excuses a day from their support as to why they can't deliver, ranging from them not having enough gold (I only made a very small order to test them out, 20$ worth, so not good at all) to the person incharge being off today, I've requested a refund twice, and gotten nowhere, I have now had to go as far as filing a paypal dispute, and I'm expecting to have to change it to a paypal claim going off my experience with these people.

First time trying this online gold buying stuff so I didn't know any reputable names or anything. These people seemed to be the best spammers on the Dragon nest server I was on so I gave it 50 cents for 100 gold, supposedly through face to face. Then another purchase of 100 gold through the mail system.

My transactions never showed up. I was sad I almost lost a dollar:<

Went about my business then got mail. 100 gold showed up 16 minutes after I paypaled them money. No verification call like I was expecting but I guess they don't care for such small amounts. Then I got the next 100 gold through the mail as well.

I see some broken English on the site. I see no where do they track my transaction information so my only records that I bought this gold are in paypal. Their forums are being "updated" at present so I see no community that might vouch for/explain how the service works. While easy enough to navigate they could do a better job with their web design.

In the end I got my gold and I'm pleased but they have room for improvement.

I don't always agree with the score, but it's always well presented, and the comics section is cool too :)
