My boyfriend introduced me to Giant Bomb.  At first, I didn't think I would like the crew, but I'm impressed with how impartial they are to developers (if a game sucks, they let you know).  Also, I appreciate how welcoming they are to us who haven't played video games since the NES days.  Many sites and magazines cater to those who play everything on hardcore and think everyone else shouldn't touch a controller. 
 
Well, I'm off to find out which dessert is also the name of a puzzle game.
