I browse IGN occasionally for gaming news, but I read Game Revolution the most. Far fewer stupid shit ads than any of the 'Big Three', plus the reviews are much better written.

I was reading /. untill I got to lazy to set up my linux partition to boot and get my book marks out of there. I've mostly been relying on this forum now.

When the thought crosses my mind, I steer myself to Gamespot for gaming news.
There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind who think it’s perfectly reasonable to strip-search a 13-year-old girl suspected of bringing ibuprofen to school, and the kind who think those people should be kept as far away from children as possible … Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between drug warriors and child molesters.” - Jacob Sullum[/size][/align]

-from your GameRevolution site.

Considering I understood the technical chatter (mostly :p ) I don't know whether to feel offended or complimented :lol:

I usually steer clear of all gaming sites during E3. I typically read gaming sites for reviews and articles. Previews are just hype, and tend to just be a matter of the gaming "journalists" paraphrasing press releases, and when E3 comes around all you get are previews and hype.

Plus, the games that I'm interested in hearing about are rarely the ones that the gaming press assumes I'll want to hear about, so there's really not much point.

i tend to stay clear of gaming 'sites' and stick with gaming magazines. i've found that most gaming sites tend to be horribly cluttered and usually not all that well designed.
