I am thinking of canceling my gamespot subscription and moving on to a different site. Suggestions?

Agreed. IGN is the best game publications site since Gamespot turned corporate.

For reviews you should try gametrailers...they seem pretty good from what I've seen. I don't know much about their forums or if they even have any.

offtopic.com is worth it.... if you dont like censorship

honestly i only come here rarely now that i am actually a paying member of that site.... its so FTW

a whole new culture. Wikipedia it if you are interested.... you have to be initiated and the golden rule is dont make a thread without pics or something NEW. if ya repost you will get flamed, and you deserve it

I love GameTrailers. They've got the best Video Reviews IMO.

IGN has always been great for gaming news and reviews. I don't think the mods are as pathetic there either. But you never know, this could just be one site of many..

Hey, IGN has everything and more! it even has hot babes pictures. If you are the lonely type those might be fun.

You can keep a blog there, too! But I don't think there is any unions, though.

They even review movies and DVDs. You know, aside from unions, IGN has way more content to offer.

I used to go to IGN and 1UP. Both are the suck. I'm going to PALGN.

I checked out a rather nice-looking site called Gamer 2.0 today. The site looks new and the community is small, but it looks promising.

What's ironic is that they only have news feed right now instead of their own news articles, and the first feed is Gamespot. LOL.

IGN :lol:

Gamepro, Game Informer, and 1up are the real video game sites/magazines that have been around for ages.

I don't post much, but for years, probably since 2001, if i was going to read a review it was Gamespot's, it stayed on top of my list for so long.

But now my list for sites I trust based on their integrity looks like this:

1.- Small but honest sites like Gamer 2.0.

2.- Big corporate sites, except Gamespot.

3.- Fanboy and/or company owned platform specific sites like Play Magazine (Lair 9.0? LOL)

4.- Gamespy.

5.- Teenage mouth foaming fanboy reviewers posting on message boards who think Halo/FF/other is the best FPS/RPG/other ever but have hardly ever played any other FPS/RPG/other.

6.- Gamespot.

there is no point in leaving yes go else where for reviews i dont mind people saying that

but leaving gs is dumb it has the best community and leaving in "protest" is stupid because it does not make a difference what makes a difference is staying and trying to make change

and cancelling your paid a account will make much more of a difference
