-Their reviews come out quicker and seem to be better. They offer a complete explanation on why a game gets what it does.

-Quicker on the news

-They update alot more.

Do they have a higher budget?

Gametrailers is easily the best game site out there.

I only come here because of System Wars, and news usually comes fast here.

The thing I don't like about GameTrailers is that they only seem to ever review one version of multiplat games.

why not 2 reviewers instead of one, that would help making the score more fair

Even if it is, the community over there pretty much negates that. It's nightmare inducing....

Those two are by far the biggest. Followed by 1up and then a long way to the rest.

Same, the IGN one is just ...*shakes head*

Soon I'll probably remove GS from my bookmarks and replace it with Gametrailers, sick and tired of waiting ages for a bloody review and most of the time It's crap (the review)

Gamespot has the best community. IGN I love the content but their layout and community sucks and Gametrailers has the best videos and video reviews but it's lacking in text and community also. Thank god for tabbed browsing. Or better yet Spaces in Leopard. :D

Nope, Gamespot is bigger, at least according to Alexa. Not by much, mind you, but bigger.

i personally agree more with gametrailers reviews than any other site out there. They explain their reasoning throughout the video and seem to be fair.

I don't think so . These forums are so much faster , sometimes a stupid thread with a handfull of posts will stay on the first page for quite a while. Anyway if you put all the members of these forums and boards gamespot> gametrailers (in number)

Quantity != quality.

GS is just good for lulz, for actually discussing games it's awful, same with IGN. GT isn't perfect, but I can actually stomach the community. Helps that they don't religiously follow reviews either, or that the reviews themselves actually critique the games for what they are.

I think both sites are on par with each other. They both review games with good accuracy. Both have the occassional off-beat review once and a while, but they are far more consistent than IGN, 1up, etc. The vids at GT are awesome and I think the Gamespot forums are better than any other gaming site's out there. About a tie when it comes down to it for me. I usually have a tab opened to both sites when I'm online...and then a third one for the studying I should be doing.

Eurogamer has the best writing staff when it comes to reviews. Gamespot has System Wars (seriously the only thing I use this site for because their previews and reviews are just south of atrocious) IGN has good previews, developer blogs, music, DVD, movie, etc. and Gametrailers has excellent videos for free.

IGN and Gamespot must have just about lost it when Gametrailers appeared. At first the site was buggy and slow but getting HD quality movies is something both of them charged a premium for and now you can get them by sitting through a short commercial.

Forum wise no. And Review wise no(peopel regard GS reviewer higher than GT). Popularity wise yes due to free HD movies.
