Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

I usually just go to IGN. I've never liked gamespot, they seem really PC and Xbox/PS3 shooter biased. It seems like they never care about nintendo or retro stuff. I personally prefer just going to cnet over gamestop. I don't know if they publish the same articles, but what appears on cnet gives a better overview of the industry.

I like Kotaku and Destructoid, most of the time I find them to be very similar in content

I follow destructoid almost daily, and used to participate but found the trolling to be too much to be worth my time so I just read the articles now.

I actually prefer the fanboy writers a little bit.

The more neutral writers over there always stick to the Destructoid formula without even trying to make a point. It's just posting news and asking the readers, "And what do you think?"

At least Jim Sterling is entertaining.

Yea, but Jim is way to defensive.

I am a Kotaku-ite myself, mostly for the community which, for the most part, is a nice group. 7k resides there as well, even a star commenter. However, the writing itself and content can be rather off topic and the reviews are really starting to bother me (I HATE it when a reviewer complains about difficulty, especially in arcade esque games).

Anyone got any review site reqs? I really enjoy classic game room as Mark seems to be the only reviewer who honestly enjoys games anymore.
Don't that just look oh so tasty?
