What Gaming Sites Do You Go To?

I would say most of us go to IGN, right? Seems to be pretty good. Since I really just got into my PS2 I only got to a select few. Gamespot is another on my list but I have a heck of a time looking at media on thier page.

And what gaming humor sites do you visit? The only one I know of is Penny Arcade and they are great. Can't imagine there being any better ones out there. They posted their Halloween comic and I thought I should share.

The Gaming Intelligence Agency(www.thegia.com) is a very nice fan run site, I like them because they also try to highlight unique niche games that commercial sites notice only after they've become popular like Harvest Moon and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. They've also got a decent fanart section. On a side note, Andrew Vestal, the creator of the awesome Unnoficial SquareSoft Homepage works there. Back when Final Fantasy 3 just came out, the USSHP ruled!!!

I also check the ign psx, ps2, dc, xbox, cube series of pages and gamespot, the latter especially good for tons of streaming media

ign.com is the place I go for video game info now, but when I was a kid it was Nintendo Power magazine.

mostly ign (either xbox.ign.com) or (rpgvault.ign.com).

However, since I now run a game site (shameless plug = www.mimesisportal.com), I head over to www.rpgdot.com quite a bit. They're a pretty steady source for any and all PC RPG news.

For internet game humor: penny arcade, megatokyo (www.megatokyo.com), PvP (www.pvponline.com), Inktank (www.inktank.com), and more (all webcomics).

Gamespot

Tried IGN for a while, given all the good press, but I found their site design clunky and difficult to navigate, especially with all the extra crap. With Gamespot, you click on your system, click on "reviews," and click on the game you want (with both most recent and most popular readily available). Bingo, done.

Since I mostly play RPGs, I go to www.rpgamer.com a lot.

I sometimes check ign.com as well.

I mostly stick with ign now. I actually paid the fee to be an igninsider because i wanted the magazine they are putting out and some hi-res mov files and it has been pretty cool so far.
