Battle of the News Feeds II: IGN Vs Gamespot

     In round two, we take a look at the news feeds of IGN and Gamespot, two of the oldest and most prominent video game news sites.

"We're all about video games, movies, TV, and comics!" (IGN)

"Official @GameSpot account. Follow for video game news, livestreams, & giveaways! Also follow @GSUniverse for TV/movies, & @GameSpotDeals for sales/freebies." (Gamespot)

     We can the similarities between how these two gaming news sites describe themselves and how the two news organizations did back in part I.

     IGN paints themselves as a site that isn't only dedicated to only video games whereas Gamespot makes it clear they are; although, they do encourage you to visit their other accounts for other news about other mediums.

     Just like how CNN was advertising their app, Gamespot is advertising their GameSpotDeals service. I can't say I'm a fan of the product placement right in the description.

     I find IGN to be the more poorly put together Twitter feed as it is flooded with non-gaming news whereas Gamespot is purely gaming related; it helps that Gamespot puts its' other non-gaming related news on a different feed.
