What other game sites do you go to for reviews?
IGN and occasionally Gamespot, though not as often these days. If it's a game I really want to play, I'll look at whatever early reviews I can find, but generally just kind of skim through them and attempt to avoid spoilers.
IGN. They do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more reviews than Gamespot.
1UP on ocassion. Other than that, I'll click through to linked reviews now and again. I also use Gamer Limit.
I use Metacritic for reviews and Giant Bomb for the trailers, features, interviews and the forums etc.
I used to be a huge Gamespot fan until they started giving rediculous ratings for games.
" @K0rN said:" @mano521 said:Fuck Korn! i ripped follow the leader yesterday, and fucking korn has the first 12 tracks each being 5 seconds of nothing, and they are all titled silence. Therefore fuck korn "" @K0rN: nope i like korn. so your in luck hahaha "ok.... "
I'm not even going to bother.
The Escapist and GameSpot. Though after so many years of playing games, I usually know what I'm going to like or not. The recommendations from these sites are more like the final sign off on my purchase.
I really love Giant Bomb. In my opinion, they are the game journalists of record - like the NYT. I have no doubt that they are giving me an honest, unbiased opinion. But, as much as I like the site, they do not cover enough material. Today is a great example - Mass Effect 2 launched, and where is the review? GB is not large enough for the scope of coverage I desire.
For this reason, I find IGN to be the best daily site for videogame coverage. I sometimes find their reviews to be totally off-base, but generally get where they are coming from. I genuinely love the personalities of Greg Miller, Damon Hatfield and Ryan Clements.
Still - the strength of Giant Bomb is it's smaller, tighter focus. I don't need it to have the scope of IGN to enjoy it greatly. I think the Giant Bombcast is the best videogame podcast that is produced.
