Care Factor: Come on, sex sells and a recent GameSpot poll goes to show it. A high percentage of the results showed that if booth babes were absent, so were many attendees. Good, shorter lines for the people that actually care about games.

Work at IGN

It's really a split between Joystiq and Kotaku, you could go either way. It all comes down to aesthetics.

Gaming-Age (GAF) members may be harsh, but they'll get to the bottom of any debacle. Case in point: The 1UP DOA4 strategy scandal.
