Good gaming site?

[petertew]

I used to check Kotaku regularly, but now that their site design has gone to total shit (along with every other Gawker site I used to like) I need a new site to check up on the latest gaming news. Anyone have some suggestions?

 

[pigwalk]

I like Destructoid, I use to bounce between it and Kotaku but yeah that redesign blows.

 

[NukeDukem]

I like Gamespot PC.... (gets out flame shield)

 

[Sivrit]

I like giantbomb.com

 

[theNoid]

Giantbomb for sure

 

[petertew]

Awesome. Thanks for the links. I still hope that Kotaku will switch back to its old format, but working for a web company I know how hard it can be for people to check their egos and admit they made a mistake; in other words, I'm not holding my breath.

By using this link you can make Kotaku look a lot like it used to:

http://kotaku.com/#!classic

I use n4g.com as a central source for all gaming news. FYI, ignore the comments.

 

[goofybastard]

I still check www.bluesnews.com

If you really liked Kotaku (and other Gawker sites) use the Canadian (and sometimes .net) versions of the sites. http://ca.kotaku.com/ for example still uses the old site format.

I'm starting to get used to the new design, but it's not without it's quirks for sure (I miss getting notifications when someone replies to one of my comments).

www.gamefront.com

Along with the other ones I check (most have been mentioned already)

Looks the same.

www.rockpapershotgun.com (PC Gaming only, though)

 

[darksonic]

Putting in my vote for Giant Bomb.

 

[MadSkills]

Gamespot seems to give the most info at a glance (news, reviews, scores, release dates, etc)

 

[CKMorpheus]

I still check www.bluesnews.com

+1 for the Blues

+2 for the Blues, as well as Voodoo Extreme (ve3d.com) I bounce between those two daily.

 

[Serpico]

Shacknews, Giant Bomb, Rock Paper Shotgun. Also Teamliquid.net for Starcraft

 

[That's_Corporate]

Giantbomb, all the way. Jeff is a pimp. Same with Vinny and Dave.

 

[Sunny_Stefan]

Looks the same.

brand new and recommended by penny-arcade guys. Probably worth checking out.

 

[mobusta1]

i used ign for years when i cared about wat new games were coming out

 

[MorgothPl]

Actiontrip.com for me

 

[spicey]

Eurogamer & Shacknews

 

[petertew]

I appreciate the additional links. I'm liking Destructoid a lot. As for putting in "special" URLs just to get Kotaku back to normal (or close to it), fuck that. They should accomidate me, not the other way around.

 

[wormer311]

thanks for the info i found some pretty good sites in this thread^^

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work.

That's strange, try clicking Blog View at the top of the page.

 

[Decepticon]

The ones I frequent; Giantbomb, Bitmob, Shacknews, 1UP, Joystiq (although not as much anymore), IGN, Rock Paper Shotgun, and occasionally Destructoid.

That looks like shit. No thanks.

 

[DDigital]

Doesn't work.

At the risk of looking like a Kotaku fanboy (which I'm really not), I'm going to leave this here again.

[refraxion]

I use Kotaku and IGN. Gamespot just doesn't appeal to me..

 

[CFP]

Escapist Magazine is always fun.

 

[spicey]

Never heard of Giantbomb before but after visiting I can say it is entertaining. I've added it to my favourites

 

[zakter2003]

This and Shacknews

 

[Thuleman]

Gamespot seems to give the most info at a glance (news, reviews, scores, release dates, etc)

Same here, most info at a glance is what I value at Gamespot.

 

[spicey]

I like Gamespot too, very unfashionable and unpopular with the majority on here no doubt. It's a good source for info and the site is clear and laid out in a highly professional manner.

Blah, shacknews got gawker'd.

Also, NeoGaf forums is a good place to get news and info. The site policy is new news; new thread, and you don't have to be a member to view the forum.
