August 10, 200817 yr Lets face it, to take part in a gaming community or actively track gaming news makes you an enthusiast.So what websites other than these boards do you use? Heres mine: Gamespot:Been using it for 4 years, as much as i think its a shadow of its former self i moderate the boards and its where ispend a lot of my time on the internet. Giantbomb:Or as a lot call it, gamespot 2.0, very promising website Kotaku:Great gossip site when there not talking about there breakfast. 1up.com:The podcasts and video i think set the bar in terms of quality and entertainement factor. Screwattack:As it says at the top,"Something original, Every freaking day" NeoGaf:A website that you sort of take a peek at and dont really go much further, theres a sort of lurid fascination with just how big a douche mankind can be.Sort of gives you a new outlook over where you reside on teh internet that, well maybe this place isnt so bad, in fact its pretty good. Kongregate:Some great addictive flash games on that site and if theres only one reason to go there its desktop tower defence 2.0.
August 10, 200817 yr KeSPA, if that counts... I don't really check for gaming news unless it's during an event like E3...
August 10, 200817 yr The main one i use it Gamefaqs but thats mainly for the forums, some of the things on there are epic. :P. But also IGN, Gamespot, a couple of sites to do with WoW, sometimes browse Massivley and MMO, thats about it.
August 10, 200817 yr GiantBomb is so Gamespot 2.0. Needed to say that. I also use IGN if I'm really desperate to find out news, as well as MMOsite. I do use the ones listed but I only take part in discussions here on TIF.
August 10, 200817 yr I sometimes go to gametrailers to watch previews of upcoming games, or to watch reviews of recently released games to decide whether or not to buy. I also occasionally go onto /v/ of 4chan. Can't stand browsing it for too long of a period or too often though :P Combat FTL
August 10, 200817 yr Only one I usually use is IGN. Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew
August 10, 200817 yr I use gamefaqs for guides, GameSpot UK for news, the official Nintendo website when I need it, and I'm also a member of the Animal Crossing Community website. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 10, 200817 yr GiantBomb, MMORPG.com (MMO's only but still), Joystiq, DSFanboy, Massively Ok some are for specific system/games but whatever.
August 10, 200817 yr I always use Gamespot. I really don't like going to more than one, unless I need to find out something I can't find on Gamespot.
August 10, 200817 yr I use gamefaqs for guides but am not a member of the forums. I usually visit the Square-enex from time to time to keep up with new games from square-enex. Ponies!
August 10, 200817 yr Define "take part" cause I lurk a lot. The one I actively use is GameFaqs for guides. Otherwise I do my share of lurking at places when needed, random forums for a specific game that I'm interested in and at the escapist for obvious reasons. 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed! (give my guide a read :^_^: )
August 14, 200817 yr I mostly just use IGN, but I dont bother discussing on it seen as they just post flamebait just for hits, i.e. they quote some random games developer as saying PSN is better than XBL, to provoke people.
August 15, 200817 yr http://news.filefront.com/ - Pretty much news on everything http://www.massively.com/ - MMO news, got it from Nadril http://www.gamegirl.com/ - Not a girl but it a quite interesting site with different opinions on Please click below to help with my ICT A Level, for which I have to monitor my website for 8 weeks, hits and feedback welcome. http://www.chauncystweb.co.uk/sm Feedback page now up and working.
August 15, 200817 yr Kotaku:Great gossip site when there not talking about there breakfast. I like the personal stuff on there. Mini-bash's stuff makes me I also use Scorehero quite a bit . (I WILL get around to submitting scores eventually, cant be arsed to redux every bloody song though.) The elitist jerks forum for theorycrafting. not much really, at least not frequently.
August 15, 200817 yr Mygamercard.net - Only really for the gamercard signature you can get, but I guess it still counts.. Gamefaqs.com - My most frequently visited site. I go here daily for the Polls and the Top 10 lists, as well as FAQs and Cheats for games when I'm stuck or when I have beaten them. And their forums are great, too. Gamespot.com - I don't really use it much, but I have a gamefaqs account, which also registers you an account on gamespot. I go here occasionally for prices, reviews, news, and I've been to their forums a couple of times. Xbox.com - Not really that great. The only plus side is access to your XBL account and the forums..even then, the forums aren't that great. Bungie.net - For Halo 3 stuff.
August 16, 200817 yr Guess I'm the only one using Qj :( (I also visit some of the other sites that's been mentioned already).
August 16, 200817 yr I think I've probably been to most major general gaming websites (as in, not company or platform specific). As of this moment, I spend way too much time on gaming sites/blogs. I frequent the following, usually daily: kotaku.com rockpapershotgun.com brainygamer.com 1up.com (reviews suck, but they do some good features) ign.com gamespot.com (almost never use this since all their writers quit) gamespy.com (used to be the best gaming site on the net, but since they merged with IGN years ago their new content has almost vanished) firingsquad.com gamesradar.com escapistmagazine.com (I actually read the magazone :geek: ) gamasutra.com gamese[bleep]ch.com computerandvideogames.com I also make occasional visits to a lot of other places, like sexyvideogameland.blogspot.com, gametrailers.com, destructoid.com and joystiq.com, but not daily like all the ones above. Also visit metacritic almost daily, though not always for gaming. And I also frequent some niche gaming blogs every now and then.
