Seeing as I don't really have very much to say about the world of gaming apart from the increasingly-sprawling reviews I write, all I can think to do here is a little shameless advertising by linking you to the game critic I trust above all others:

Written by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, titled 'Zero Punctuation', and featured on The Escapist website, these game reviews are becoming more and more well-known every day (I imagine a good few people who come across this will probably know about him already). His videos are absurdly savage, profane and funny (anyone who likes Charlie Brooker should love this guy), and while he'll probably offend you or say something you completely disagree with at least once, you can always rely on him to be brutally honest and incisive in the face of hype, which is more than you can say for pretty much any large-scale games website or publication. Give him a try, you won't regret it!
