Personally I'd go with IGN, partly because of the babes section. I hardly ever go to 1up, but I'll go there on occasion to see how they scored some games if Gamespot gave something a weird score. You?

Maybe it's just the places I go to but whenver I see a Link to a site that has news on gaming, it's usually coming from either 1up or Kotaku or some other game site that's not Gamespot or IGN.

IGN has much better forums than 1up, IMO. Neither forums are as good as GS'

But, still, IGN gets my vote.

1up seems to highly overrate good games and highly underrate bad games, but they have some good features, IGN is more complete though, with all the channels that arn't just video games

this question is a paradox..GS..but if i had to choose i would choose Gametrailers..ign is too complex and mixed and 1up are too "mac" and "liberal" if you know what i mean..

IGN out of the 2, but if you want a great site go to gametrailers(im probably gonna get a lot of heat off of thisXD).

You can watch free HD movies and download them too and if you make an account you get these things called GTD(game trailer dollars) for like watching videos, rating videos, commenting, posting blogs, and getting views off of your videos.

And when you've collected a lot you can go to their marketplace and buy clothes, action figures, video games, or even consoles.

Sure the games are like 10,000 GTD's and the consoles go up to 47,000 GTD you're still getting it for free, it just takes a lot of work.

I got the new super mario bros a long time ago and it came in mint condition when it came to my house.

Sure it took like 8 months to rally up the GTD's but it was well worth it. XD
