The funny thing is, I had guessed something like this the second I saw the hint text that was decrypted from the patch. The lovecraftian vibes, plus the whole 'empire' thing reminded me of the clockwork knight and clockwork armor flavor text.

The implication is also that Clockwork Empires is a bad game and a decent review means IGN had to be bribed. I agree, it was a tacky joke.

The implication is that IGN's scores (on AAA games) are proportional to the amount of money thrown at them - they can give a low score to an good game and a high score to a terrible steaming pile of poo poo.
