where do you get your gaming news?

[cmdrdredd]

I am sick of IGN and their rumors posing as news and wading through reviews of TV shows that suck. I think Gamespot lost a lot of what made them decent. They have some bias in their writings.

Anyway, what site is good to obtain the latest gaming news? Anandtech is more tech and hardware oriented, I want info on upcoming titles and reviews etc. What's the best place to obtain this anymore? PC and console is fine. I tried looking around for a good site but a few of them seem to just link outside their own website to someone else's writing.

RPS for reviews
Joystiq for news/info
Youtube for random (machinima)

What about Eurogamer or Yougamers?

I like Gametrailers for game reviews.

RPS, Kotaku, and PC Gamer.

I will say that Kotaku has become highly annoying. Every article posted by Brian Ashcraft makes me want to stop reading their blog.

I frequently visit:
shacknews.com
n4g.com (for a collection of gaming news links)
and rpgwatch.com (for RPG news)

I could really care less about the big guys anymore. A good chunk of their news, and especially reviews, seem overly biased to me.

Same here. I used to read Firingsquad as well, but I stopped some time ago, although I'm not sure why.

 

[shortylickens]

Mostly here. Which is why I sometimes miss out on cool stuff if you guys dont talk about it.

Since when does /r/gaming ever have anything news-related? Last time I checked, it's nothing but memes, screenshots, cakes, "look what I played last weekend", nonsense like that. I unsubscribed from that subreddit a long time ago.

/r/games is much more useful for news. Also, /r/gamernews.

I used to put a lot of faith in gamespot and PC gamer as well, but think both have sold out to the big gaming companies.

Yeah I used to love Electronic Gaming Monthly back in the day. Online has rendered mags obsolete because their info is already old.

bluesnews ... really that's it. STILL the best shit filter for gaming news and usually has a couple of interesting general tech or cool stuff items that aren't picked up by my feeds

I dont even care about old news. I hate they clearly lost their objectivity a long ass time ago. Gamespot too.

[Pr0d1gy]

Other than here I only go to Joystiq. They cover pretty much everything in the industry ad nauseum.
