rock-paper-shotgun - im one of those crazy people who still care about the pc. /v/ - a clusterfuck of every news source on the internet. occasionally rises above complete mental retardation. kotaku - eh. articles are full of typos, but usually i can get most of the information by skimming the comments. ign - their podcasts are the only redeeming feature. hell, they barely even talk about games yet it's the most entertaining group of podcasts i've heard. giantbomb - bombcast and quicklooks > typical copy/past press-release bullshit
Giant Bomb Giant Bomb Giant Bomb Giant Bomb Giant Bomb Those are my top 5 gaming websites. I read material from other sites just to keep up on news, but that's through my RSS feed. Giant Bomb is pretty much the only game site I enjoy actually visiting
I listen to a number of game related podcasts, but I don't bother with any other game website outside of Giant Bomb. If it's something that matters, it'll eventually find its way here and in the meantime, I don't have to sort through an RSS feed filled with countless duplicate stories (or in the case of sites like Kotaku, endless streams of complete bullshit).
Giantbomb is definitely my favourite, by far. Great content and great community.
I also use Joystiq and Kotaku for news, though their communtiy and quality of journalism varies greatly.
GameFAQs is useful if you need help with something in a game and Gametrailers has some great high quality videos - although it has the single worst gaming community on the internet. Some of the posts on there are sub Youtube comment quality.
1) Giant Bomb - It's a video game website - about video games! 2) Gametrailers - Mr Pach, AVGN and good, long video reviews. 3) N4g - It's often shitty but good things have some from it.
Giantbomb is still quite far ahead. Gamespot for some reviews, ScrewAttack for the Top __ lists, Escapist for their reviews (which have imo lost a lot of their humour in return for 'harharhar dick' jokes), and IGN for E3 coverage.
Giant Bomb, GoNintendo, Joystiq/Kotaku, EGMi and the actual EGM magazine.
Giant Bomb for it's awesome, GoNintendo for my daily does of Nintendo, Joystiq & Kotaku for the rest of the news and EGMi/EGM Magazine because I like most of the writers there.
Giantbomb, IGN, and Xbox360Achievements.org are the only ones I really visit that often. IGN is good for having timely reviews but their design sucks, and the achievement site is good for guides and such.
