    IGN buys 1UP.com

    And nothing of value was...gained? Which site will be the first to be fully 'absorbed' (read, complete layoffs of news/editorial staff), bets?

    Nah I hated the layout, same with IGNs, I use joystiq exclusively now, especially after the Kotaku redesign.

    It's a far fucking sight better than IGN. Large, mediocre sites with dev/publisher access merging into even larger, awful sites with dev/publisher access just worries me, and that's a possibility any time consolidation happens in journalism.
