I guess GameFAQs, but to be honest I'm far more active on GB than I ever was on any other gaming forum.

I came from Gamespot. Started there after the great staff all left, but I remembered my brother watching the old On The Spots and such, and decided to start listening to all the old Hotspots. During that, I started to wonder what happened to Gerstmann and the others, and through some quick Google searches came across Giant Bomb, and have been here ever since.

IGN was always the one I used most, but I was always checking reviews and such from other sites (mainly GameSpot).

Gamespot.

Actually, I spent a few years posting on GP and LL, two other sites that were made up of old GS members, before coming to GB.

I first heard of The Bomb on TalkRadar, I think they had Jeff on the show one time. I popped over and here I've been!

I followed the staff here from GameSpot.

Those were good days for me, but these are better ones for everyone.

1up. I left during the UGO takeover. 


When I first started getting into gaming web sites, I went to N4G. I don't know what I was thinking.

I was at G4 until shortly after the TechTV merger, then I went to 1up for a couple years until around the time of the mass lay-offs.  Now I'm here.

Destructoid. Still a good place, but ever since they lost some of their best staff a few months ago and I began disliking the forums, I've only been going over there for news rather than discussion.


I used to really like Gamestop a few years back but then there was the whole, y'know, Gerstmanngate thing. Basically killed my interest in the site.

Gamespot  discovered that site in 01, then came here after the transition this is kinda like the old gamespot but less corporate and more fun best videogame site IMO.

I didn't have a main gaming site before Giantbomb. I just went to different sites but never really posted.  Then Giantbomb came around and the rest is history.

I wasn't active on any forums but I used gamespot and gamefaqs, the only forum other than WM ones I have ever used was for official nintendo magazine. I knew about Giant Bomb but didn't really get into it until mega 64 were on the podcast and linked from their site.

Gamespot originally, then on to Gamesradar briefly before settling for a lengthy spell with Kotaku.  Until they decided to cock-up their entire network.

@pikeplacer: 

It kills me me to see what happened to 1up. The 1up Show, 1up Yours, 1up FM/Backlog, GFW Radio and Retronauts. All fantastic shows. If you look at the personalities that went through 1up, it makes you wonder what Ziff Davis did to scare those guys off: Mark MacDonald, John Davison, Shane Bettenhausen, James Mielke, Jeff Green, Shawn Elliott and countless others. Jeremy Parish is still there and Scott Sharkey occasionally writes for them, but it's not the same. 

I know the same can be said for Gamespot, but man I miss the old 1up.  

Glad I discovered Giant Bomb.

No 1up on the list?  I'd guess that would get some votes, I came from their after that apocalypse.

Um, more gamespot than any other site but it was the personalities of Jeff Gerstmann and hte crew of 2007 and once they started peeling off I kinda left. When news of Jeff and Ryan were going to have their own site, i instantly moved with them

Gamespot for myself. I was never really a part of the "community" there though. I didn't even lurk. I just never visited the forums.

I came over from GameFAQs.  Had a brief spell with GameSpot (for pretty crappy blogs) and went back to GFAQs.  Then I mainly only visited one or two game forums there, then I just began lurking and no longer posting.  Then I slowly made my way here.
