If only i had the time and ability to create a website i would start it myself, i have tons of old strategy guides
retromags had a bunch of strategy guides iirc

Most of them suck though, just your average joe scrubs clumsily fumbling their way through a game. Most of the best ones I've seen are from actual gamefaqs users. So again, everything leads back to gamefaqs

I would suggest the longplay series on YouTube attached to the account Cubex55 for gameplay videos. I enjoy seeing what many games have to offer, and the channel features games across multiple computers, consoles, and arcade. It is nice to occasionally watch a playthrough of a classic Amiga point and click, for instance.

That said, the videos are usually comment free, though a few have commentary. And the players are usually competent, though not always. The Brawl Brothers longplay for instance...the guy hated the game.
