Gaming Sites

This post isn't meant to toot GameSpot's horn, but I truly feel that it offers gamers the best site for interactivity and information. IGN provides excellent albeit lengthy game reviews and many unique features; however, you cannot access the entire site without a subscription. Given that the Internet makes it possible to share news, reviews, previews, images, movies, walkthroughs, etc., with few restrictions, I don't see any benefit in paying for such things. Moreover, I dislike the media player used by IGN. It always opens a new window and the "descriptions" seldom match the actual content of the videos that they supposedly describe.

Regarding other sites, I find the GamePro one poorly organized, slow to update and lacking in the online community department. Although the GameInformer site is purposely incomplete at the moment, I don't anticipate any positive additions to it. (Right now its interactivity is less than that offered by GamePro!) We're all aware of the pros and cons of the GameSpot site so I don't feel obliged to repeat them here. However, I will conclude by saying that my favourite site of all time is Segadojo, which harkens back to the Dreamcast days. Oh, do I miss both…
