The following is an article originally posted by GamesRadar on March 15th. I am blatantly, unapologetically ripping it off and repurposing it for my own ends.


"Has tired old IGN GamesRadar done it again and simply copied the ideas machine that is 1UP?


The evidence...


- Monday 5th March Tuesday 11th September GamesRadar 1UP launches . The Games That Shaped a Generation Videogame Breast Exam, a daily look at the most important 25 games ever for the GameCube, Xbox, PS2 and PC terrible article I wrote as an excuse to complain about the Dead or Alive movie and look at pictures of tits while telling people it was for work. Notable appearances include Lara Croft, Taki, Samus, Alyx Vance and, er... Master Chief. Har har.


- Yesterday 14th Wednesday 24th October IGN GamesRadar launches The Top 25 Xbox Games of All Time, The Best in Breasts, a clever and respectful effort to increase breast cancer awareness and look at pictures of tits while telling people it was for work. Notable appearances include Lara Croft, Taki, Samus, Alyx Vance and, er... Master Chief. Har har ().


, Take a look at the features, rather similar eh? So just to clarify, the GamesRadar 1UPset-up for our feature was on the 5th of March 11th of September. IGN's GamesRadar's great idea appeared to dawn on them on the 14th of March 24th of October. Quite the coincidence.


Regular readers will know IGN have previously paid homage to GamesRadar's "Top 7 - Series Run into the Ground" posted on Jan 23 2007 with their "Top 10 Tuesday: Jumped the Shark," posted a month later on Feb 20 2007. boo fucking hoo, nobody else could have ever thought of a Best Games of All Time List, etc. Again take a look at the articles, what do you think?

We'll post Viagra Online the best comments.


And if this keeps going, look forward to GamesRadar's 1UP's "Top 7 Ideas we had which suspiciously appeared on IGN shortly after." "Top 1 Websites That Should Be Very Goddamn Careful After Posting a Rant Like That."
