I was wondering if any of you know a good pc game review site. The reason that I ask is that most of the mainstream sites seem to focus on console gaming and I feel that most pc gamers are looking for something different in their gaming than console gamers whether this be difficulty, mod-ability, or specific genres that are dead on the console or don't play well on them (rts/diablo clones/rogue-likes etc.).
Another issue is that console game reviews usually don't talk about bugs/glitches or control scheme differences. For example I found the game-pad controls for gta4 to be more enjoyable than mouse and keyboard because mouse and keyboard made the game way to easy. I usually play games with mouse and keyboard first because it is my preferred style of play yet I have only found a few sites that mentioned this issue and it seems that mainstream sites didn't mention it at all most likely because they immediately plugged in a 360 game-pad rather than play with mouse and keyboard (this is merely speculation on my part). Obviously I should have guessed that it played better with game-pad since it was designed for the 360 but there have been many games that have been really fun with mouse and keyboard even though they were designed for a console or ported later eg
sychonauts/mass effect/arkham asylum(even though it was released on pc at the same time).
Anyway lets hear your thoughts escapist
tl;dr read thread title give answer.
