what is a good website for pc game reviews?

lately, half the time pc games have functional console ports... which is fine. But when you read the review, they right one review that only really talks about the console version. Its annoying, I know games made for pc will have framerate issues and other issues on console, I want to know how good the pc version is!

Honestly, I have yet to see a site that does well written, unbiased pc game reviews. If anyone knows of one though, I would love to hear about it.

giantbomb.com, gametrailers.com, ign.com, gamespot.com, g4tv.com/xplay. I know individually they are all useless! But before I get a game I literally check all of those reviews. And just kinda sum up the missing spots. I usually watch reviews just to see gameplay and sometimes hear logical thoughts distributed. But as for one single source...well, you are not gonna find one.

I think most of them do but xplay, I watch xplay reviews for entertainment more than seriousness... I really enjoyed them back in the techtv days but, G4 completely ruined them. But yea, I shouldn't have mentioned them, they never do anything but PC exclusives as far as that goes. Besides, just because they are reviewing the same exact game for the console, you should be able to identify if you are going to enjoy the gameplay and whatnot. If you see from the review the game utterly sucks but it was on Xbox and you cross your fingers it's gonna be good on PC, you made a big mistake my friend.

Depends on the reasons, console ports often have poor framerates and poor controls.TerroRizing

Debatable, recently it appears to me that PC has been getting the bad end of most multiplatform games. With those damn companies seeming to focus on consoles way more than PC now. :( I want 40k space marines and Brutal Legend

[QUOTE="TerroRizing"] None of those sources mention the pc version 90% of the time.TerroRizing

IGN. while it's not perfect, its review section is great for its diversities. you will find many reviews on games that aren't even mentioned on GS and GB.

I'd suggest you get a look at the game on streaming sites after you read some reviews. Go for the high-rating reviews to know the "good" parts and go for the low-rating review to know the "bad" parts.

Doesn't always work but at least you get the opinion of two differently thinking persons, and if you watch a video on youtube or so you also get an idea on how the game is played.

for rpgs try gamebanshee.com

RockPaperShotgun and MobyGames.

I always prefer reading fellow pc gamer reviews,they always give an accurate feel of what i'll be getting if you look through a few of them...i dont think i have ever taken gamespots reviews seriously,same goes for ign.

I seem to like IGn better than Gamespot, although User reviews mean more to me.

not this site thats for sure, i usually check youtube for regular nonpaid off peoples own reviews.

Well I read this post yesterday and didn't really know. I usually just check several reviews from several place and compare (including player reviews). IGN usually seems to cover pretty much everything, but their reviews are pretty sketchy. After doing some searching I haven't really found anything good. The best I could come up with is GamesRadar.

Sounds like you just want games to be rated higher just because they are on the PC.
