because it went from a somewhat balanced review site to a bizarre ego trip fanboy kind of thing.

Iono, I like how their reviews have bunches of different cards so its easier to compare.

Yes, and whichever paid the most for advertising will be the best, guaranteed! :D

Well, as long as it is actual news rather than reviews, I think you are safe. ;)

Anandtech is a good start..

Yep...the only time i went to Tom's is a while back when AT was extremely slow with their articles. I was sure to take my grain of salt with me though.

Anandtech has not been doing many reviews the past year or two either.
