So, I'm looking for more places to get news and opinions and all that on games and the industry and community and such, and I thought I would start by asking people I trust (all of you) from a site I already go to (The Escapist) their opinions:
Aside from the Escapist what's your favorite gaming website and why do you like it? What's the website like? What' the community like there? Do they have good articles/ information?
Also if the Escapist isn't your favorite gaming site why do you like the other site(s) better?

I use this website for the forums and the original content, and I read IGN for articles and reviews. Sometimes I'll check Polygon as well.

Um, TotalBiscuit? Uhhh...

Sometimes I watch Angry Joe, but his videos are far too long. And the skits are more miss than hit.

TotalBiscuit is much more PC focused and includes gameplay footage so he's a good source for me.

The Escapist for general news, Gamefaqs for guides if I need them, Totalbiscuit and Nerdcubed for gameplay videos and reviews that help me to decide whether or not I'd like a game, and a few smaller forums here and there focused on certain video games.

Rock Paper Shotgun is a fantastic website for anyone interested in PC gaming. If you've never been there before you should definitely check it out as it's the only major site out there I know of that reports on popular mods, indie titles, and niche franchise as well as hosting some excellent articles and the typical slew of reviews. Although even their their reviews, called 'wot I think' are more a discussion on the games ups and downs rather than a straight up 9/10 + conclusion.

Massively, because as much as I like the Escapist, this site's coverage of MMOs is severely lacking.

Aside from the Escapist...

Assembler is a great site, and it's a great hangout for more mature gamers, and retro gaming fanatics. I also really like dedicated console forums as well, especially for the more obscurer, and unappreciated consoles such as 3DO Zero (for the 3DO), and Jaguar Sector II (for the Atari Jaguar). AtariAge is a great site as well.

Hardcore Gaming 101 is a great site full of interesting things about my favorite gaming franchises.

I also like to lurk on Neogaf, and Gamefaqs once in a while too, but you do get some retarded shit on there sometimes.

Aside from The escapist I really like to go on Giant bomb their endurance runs and quick looks are really fun and give you a good idea as to whether a game is worth buying or not :)

Neoseeker.

I like it because they give every game it's own forum and elect mods for each forum based on certain criteria.
It works out very well for most of the active forums.

Well besides here, Xbox360Achievements.org for Xbox news, Polygon for some of it's articles and Destructoid for Jim's reviews and Podtoid.

I do have IGN and Kotaku liked on Facebook since they're usually quick to post news but I can't say I particularly like either of them

Destructoid is the games site I frequent the most often (aside from here). Jim Sterling is reviews editor there, so if you enjoy the Jimquisition then it may be worth visiting for you.

Gamefaqs, definitely. I would never be able to finish a game without that site.
Besides, I'm one of those people who read guides before actually playing a game, because I need to get 100% straight away, and I'd never enjoy my playthrough if I know I missed collectibles

This is the only one I really visit.
At least once a day. Not often on weekends, though. Just waiting for my Xbox to become available so I can play.

This, Screwattack, Destructoid, Rock Paper Shotgun, ManaTank, Pelaajalehti, and I'll do the occasional check of GameTrailers for the partners, mainly.

Back in 2002 I registered with Gamespot, not the most sophisticated website in the world but I still check that site out.

Aside from this one?

Not updated often as you can see, but big enough that it would take months to fully explore.
