How do you feel about walk-throughs? Any good sites for them?
Just curious as to whether or not people use walk-throughs? Additionally does anyone have some links for sites they know/like usually have good ones. I guess the main reason is I'm currently playing The Thing and while I've found a couple of "hints/cheats" there doesn't seem to be a complete walk-through anywhere. I guess overall it's linear enough that you don't really need it but I always enjoying looking at them to see if I missed anything

What do you all use for the latest news? And are there other good, non-juvenile forums, like this one?

Gamefaqs....*the* site for, well, game faqs.
General video game info sites, I have bookmarked:
here
Gamespot
IGN [yeah, I know]
Videogamereview.com
I'll hit a walkthrough/faq when I'm stuck and have tried repeatedly on my own. After beating a game, I'll check them for secrets or codes/cheats to just have fun with the game.

I figure gamerankings has all the ratings and links to reviews/previews. Gamefaqs has all the walkthroughs and game guides you'll ever need (even cheaper than those penny strategy guides
) and this forum has all the....err... gossip and "opinions"

Seriously, their faqs list is uncanny. But I don't go there for anything else (especially for opinions on games).

As for walkthroughs gamefaqs is the only one you need. I find walkthroughs ruin the game for me if I use them to "walk me through a game." But if I get stuck, and especially if it will cause me a lot of extra time and frustration if I can't figure something out, then I will use a walkthrough.
