Poll: Where else do you go for your gaming news?

[TheCommanders]

So I've been hearing a lot of abuse thrown at IGN of late, and I have to say, I do agree with a lot of the criticism that has been levled at them. Most people here do seem pretty informed of the goings on the games industry, however, so I was curious about where people go to get their game related news. As for me, up until recently I went to IGN, and for a while now I've been going to G4TV. What about you guys? (I'll include IGN in the poll for fairness, and leave off the The Escapist, because obviously you are here now)

I get all my news from the escapist...

And I'm rather appalled that it isn't a poll option.

Aside from the Escapist, Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Mostly for the PC bias which is cool, the general lack of corporateness, and the great writers. I've never regularly used any other sites, my only other source of news has been magazines, so more recently PC Gamer and in the past CVG. Magazines have space for a lot more long form stuff, even if the news and reviews are really out of date.

 

[Sixcess]

Here for regular gaming news, and Massively for MMO coverage, as that's something the Escapist barely touches upon.

 

[Hazy992]

Mainly here and Destructoid. Also yeah it's really odd that the Escapist isn't a poll option on the Escapist.

 

[Zhukov]

Uh... here?

I don't really follow gaming news all that closely. I just glance at the feed every now and again and click on anything that looks interesting.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Here and Xbox360Achievements.org (obviously the latter is for Xbox 360 news)

I thought it was a bit obvious that any people replying to the poll would be regular users of the escapist - considering you are posting on its forum - and I wanted to see what else people use. Maybe I over thought it :O

 

[jackpackage200]

Here and Inside Gaming from Machinima.

Both good sources of gaming info

It's gonna really mess up your poll results though.

Maybe you should change it to 'where else do you go for gaming news' then?

 

[DJjaffacake]

The Escapist, obviously. And Offical Playstation Magazine UK. I know what you're thinking. Fuck you.

 

[lRookiel]

I sense that "Other" is going to win this poll, considering we are on a gaming forum!

OT: Here ofcourse, everyone is quick to post the news for game releases/updates here.

 

[Scrustle]

Here, Destructoid and Gameinformer. Sometimes I go to IGN but I've been going there less and less recently, especially since the latest re-design. I've mostly been going there for walkthroughs more than anything else.

Done

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Other than The Escapist I use Screw Attack. Sometimes I'll watch news videos on youtube too like K-News (if anyone is familiar with K-Wing) although a lot of his stuff I hear after hearing/reading about it from Screw Attack or, here on The Escapist.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Gamesradar, Gametrailers, Destructoid, Giant Bomb, some others.

 

[teqrevisited]

I don't really. Everything tends to end up here anyway.

 

[ResonanceSD]

IGN, Dtoid, 1up, CVG.

This site doesn't actually get any news exclusives that I've seen -_-
