Who knows video games better than the fans that love them? This creative and fun recruitment method has been getting a lot of positive publicity. Breaking into the journalism world, especially into a company as popular as IGN is no easy feat, so we thing it is awesome that IGN has opened up the doors for anyone with experience to apply. Hopefully this idea brings in a team of new and talented writers to add new stories to one of the world’s most popular gaming websites.
