News Corp.’s IGN Buys Hearst’s UGO In Preparation For Game Site Spin-Off

News Corp., which is getting ready to part with MySpace, is now prepping a move for another one of its big Web properties.

The media conglomerate plans to spin out its IGN.com dudes-and-games site, and is bulking up in advance by acquiring Hearst’s dudes-and-games-centric UGO.com.

And Gamestop bought IGn so Gamestop will now be 1up's owner too. I'm scared, I don't know who to trust anymore

[Elimin8]

I H8 Gamestop!

[Washington-Capitals]

Bin Laden is dead. Go TO NEWS CHANNEL NOW!

EDIT:
Yeah, i do believe this is a hoax myself. Many people have reported before He was killed long time ago during the civil fighting in Pakistan. I doubt they found him alive. There is more to this story than is being reported.

@ Washington

I saw it too!!!!
Although its obviously good that the head of the snake has been cut, you have to wonder if they just shot him or if they just found a skeleton buried and said "Hey, its Bin Laden!"

Trust this woman. She knows everything.

Gamespot never bought IGN, they just teamed up to be on the same network.

Gamestop and IGN just have a deal to run ads on eachother's sites. Nobody bought anyone!
