IGN Entertainment operates as a comprehensive review platform covering video games, film, television, technology, and select cultural artifacts such as books, board games, LEGO sets, and theme park attractions. The editorial mandate is to provide audiences with critical assessments that answer whether a given work is worth their time and money, and why. This requires a diverse cohort of critics with varied backgrounds, tastes, technical knowledge, and passions, as no single reviewer can claim expertise across all categories. The call is ongoing, with no fixed deadline, and operates on a rolling basis. There is no submission fee. Compensation for movies and television reviews begins at $150, though the excerpt does not specify the full rate structure. The organization particularly seeks movie experts based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York who can attend screenings, as well as gamers specializing in sports games, competitive shooters, and JRPGs, among other genres. This is a freelance reviewing opportunity rather than a traditional residency or exhibition. Accepted critics contribute to a high-traffic platform with a broad readership. The curatorial vision emphasizes breadth of expertise and the ability to deliver informed, accessible criticism that serves a dedicated audience of enthusiasts.
