Kotaku, dawg

Except their reviews, which are insufferable and overly self-important.

Kotaku sucks!

Really though, I don't visit either regularly.

Joystiq, no question about it. I love their podcast too.

Dont really care though i was banned from kotaku for asking how a thing was news lol and with no way to appeal it because the bastards dont answer their emails and there is no actual link to appealing such things.

Joystiq

Anything Gawker Media is nothing but spam, duplicates, and articles that aren't even relevant. I don't want to see constant stories involving murders and the person  just so happened to play some video game at one point in their life.

I also don't want to see shit like this. Does that honestly justify a blog post?

Kotaku? More like...
I'll refrain.

Kotaku seem to like posting stories about erotic Japanese games, which get 300+ comments of "yeah this is nothing new", but I guess that's worth the page views.

Of the two, Joystiq, but I'm not a big fan of either.

But I really do not care about either site.

I don't care for either, I just don't go to them ever, unless its a link to a story someone's given me.

Kotaku.
Joystiq looks a little too messy for me.

Kotaku for me. Joystiq likes to post unverified information.

Joystiq, because they don't post creepy shit every day, or have the irritating air of self-importance Kotaku does.

You've got to be kidding. Kotaku are the #1 rumormongers on the internet. They were cold busted by CheapAssGamer for their total lack of discretion when posting news stories.

I read both, prefer Joystiq (mostly due to their podcast giving them an edge), but I am suspicious of all video game news, even here on Giantbomb.  Rumors and speculation are par for the course in video games.  As such, I try to read as much diverse sources as possible, with the hope of building something resembling the real news.
