What is the best website that gives information about video games?

The ones I can think of are:

www.GameSpot.com

www.IGN.com

www.1up.com

www.Giantbomb.com

www.Gamepro.com

www.videogamer.com

What do you guys think?

IGN has atrocious web design. Everything is so damn cluttered, there is crap all over the place. Millions and whatnot asking you to sign up for this and that and blah blah blah, that site is garbage.

None, they all ruin games for me with to much info. I come to the forums to feel better about myself when reading other peoples comments.

I used to trust gamespot, but with all the changes and scripted reviews (IMHO), I look more at IGN, Gamespy and G4 nowadays.

The only place I get info about new games is from the blog "1fort" and from RSS updates from Steam. Yeah, I'm not really that updated when it comes to games..

EDIT: Almost forgot about Penny Arcade, I occasionally find out about new games from that site. :P

Wikipedia.

It's got more content than all of those sites combined (or at least the ability to send you to it).

It's not really a games website in the traditional sense, but I'm very fond of www.rockpapershotgun.com; one of the few games websites with genuinely high standards if journalism.

Gamespot

good ..... System war and off topic forum

IGN

good .... Videos, charismatic employees, News, Review, it's not only about gaming but tv and movies cater for geeks, nerds and internet savvy

Bad ..... they make Gamespot looks like a poor man gaming website

 

Eurogamer

good ...... british attitude

bad...... british attitude

 

 

 

Machinima

good ....... F word allowes

bad ........ a bit sloppy presentation

Last time I went on IGN I got the impression that every game was rated too high, and as I don't go to any others, GS, I guess.
