I am glad GameSpot finally got their act together because my search for a new video game site was not going well. Here is what I found:

IGN
Wow this site is a mess. If I wanted stuff on movies and TV, I would go to a site for movies and TV. IGN takes so long to load that I thought I was browsing on my DS. Why are there checkboxes next to the games? I was afraid to click on them because it would probably spend another 2 hours loading the page again.

1UP
Wow this site is ugly. White with red text? Are you serious? I didn't know my computer could render fonts that small. GameSpot has the SoapBox where good writers can have their work read. 1UP seems to feature just popular bloggers who just happen to be attractive girls. Coincidence? Some of the blogs at 1UP make MySpace musings look like Voltaire.

ScrewAttack
OK if you post video of gameplay footage and just state some obvious knowledge of the game you are wasting people's time. Really Contra had a code to get 30 lives? Thanks for that insight. Yeah just say the game is "awesome" 50 more times.

GamePro
I think magazine game sites purposely make you click on 12 links to read something so you will just go out and buy the magazine. Yeah gaming print magazines are useless unless you like reading a preview for a game you already finished.

Luckily GameSpot decided to clear things up because I was worried I would be reading old issues of Nintendo Power from 1989 for the next couple of years because it was better than anything else out there.
