I ask this because the site I frequent is usually slow by a day when it comes to news. Do you guys know of any sites that are consistently fast with their gaming news so that I may also get my news from there? And I would use Kotaku if they didn't post pure crap half of the time so they're out of the question.
What video game site is consistently fast at getting news?
If you don't mind the possibility of the news reported being completely fabricated and completely amateur writing, Kotaku and Joystiq are the places to go. I generally stop in at Magic Box once a week to see some random scans because they don't feel the need to inject awful color commentary into anything.
" @Ahmad_Metallic said:Yeah, same here. They're not primarily a news site anyways." @DanielJW said:Meh. Giant Bomb gets the news I care about fast enough for me. "" Giant Bomb! "LOL "
But, on topic: Kotaku and Joystiq both seem to get news rather quickly.

"I checked out the Magic Box and it's quite good. It's to the point without any of the color commentary bullshit, like you said. Plus, instead of me having to scroll onto another article, all of the news is right there. Thanks, dude.

If the news is worth hearing it'll be on Giantbomb eventually. "Pretty much sums it up. 99% of the news on the blogs is filler. "
I would say kotaku or n4g as the site that have the fastest news updates, kotaku cool for the articles and heads up on all things games but the comments system i don't care for. N4g is good for news about videogames and it pulls in article from other sites so it is great for that,
" @sixghost said:god damnit you're right. Could it be possible to inject all too much sarcasm into the 1 paragraph blurb accompanying the news?" @Droop said:But Cliffy B made a new tweet that was vague about something and I need some jackass to jump to conclusions about it and write an article within 10 minutes!

Joystiq and Kotaku are my go to sites... most of the mainstream sites (IGN/Gamespot) have sucky commentors, or take stories from other outlets...
