I've been wondering for awhile now which big-name gaming websites most of you guys visit on a regular basis for your news, previews/reviews, videos, screen shots, etc. Chances are if you're following press release websites for day-to-day news, you're visiting other gaming sites for actual reviews.
So, which are they? Which gaming sites have the best variety, the most enjoyable articles, and the most trusted reviews? I'm thinking sites like Gamespot, Kotaku, NoA, etc. here, so please avoid mentioning smaller fan-made websites or any that follow one/a few specific franchises.
Edit: Alternatively, if you read a lot of your gaming news in magazines, mentioning which you follow/collect is fair game, too.
Lately I've actually been pretty bad for following my usual gaming sites, but there are a handful that I check at least once every few weeks. Kotaku's gaming news is not only great content-wise, the articles are usually witty and pretty fun to read.
Other sites I've been following for ages now are IGN (mostly out of habit) and NoA's press release website. IGN's reviews are kinda iffy at best, tho, so I usually check out Gamerankings.com to get a general feel of how the majority of the major sites/magazines/etc. are rating a game. Lastly, for FAQs, it's GameFAQs all the way. They might have a scary forum community, but the website content is usually pretty good when I need it.
I've heard a lot of debate between Gamespot's content and IGN's. Anyone here have a take on it?
