www.planetgamecube.com is a great one of the GCN and GBA.

www.psxextreme.com is ok for the PS2. I just got a PS2 and hope to find a better free site, but this is the best I've found so far.

You can also try:http://www.gamers.com. They had some pretty good E3 coverage.

You keep plugging the site, and I've looked at it a couple times. Everything else aside, there are some grammar issues (usually missing commas, comma splices, or run-on sentences) that make it look amateurish. If you intend to make it a big gaming website, you need to either make the content unbelievably amazing so that people overlook those issues, or be a little more observant about that stuff.

Also, again, if you want it to be a professional-looking site, you need to figure out some way to moderate the graffiti board. It sounds like everyone going there is 13 years old.

Just some advice, feel free to ignore me.

It's a brand new site and everyone is working for free. The quality issues are far cry from much of the competition. The grafitti wall is just what it is a grafitti wall. Anyone can write what they want- it's for fun and separate from the forums. It's not mean to be shakespear. best of all the site is totally free.

I prefer www.gameforms.com . It used to be thegia.com and personally, I think it's one of the best independant sites out there.

Yeah www.gameforms.com is pretty good, doesn't update as much as thegia used to but its run by some of the same staff so its pretty good, I like how they try to highlight niche games that most big sites ignore.

www.Gamespot.com is still ok if your looking for news only and not media, they lock their news stories after 7 days I think. I actually visit them from www.videogames.com which leads directly to their videogame section.

www.xengamers.com is another good one, good japanese information too.

www.planetgamecube.com is the best for gamecube information.

www.game2extreme.com is also good and free!
