(Random Picture)
Hello, everybody! I like learning gaming news from a good amount of websites and sources, and that got me to thinking about passing on some knowledge of my own on who does it best. This is just my opinion, so please don't take this list for fact. This will also end my Fourth Of July Weekend Listathon, which I will definitely do next year! Enjoy!
5.(Wikipedia)
Yeah, I said it. I use Wikipedia to get some of my gaming info. Not on new games or games that have yet to come out, but I use it for older games that I didn't really understand the plot and wanted to know more about it, like MW2, one of the most nonunderstandable stories I've ever played. And it also lets you know about all the info on everything you could want to know about gaming, and the info has time and time again been accurate for me, so the whole editing thing isn't all that much of a problem for gaming stuff. If you didn't really understand the stories of some of the older games, Wikipedia definitely explains it in an understandable way.
4.(IGN)
While many would put this higher up on the list, I don't think it deserves it. With many of their reviews, they have scores that are either way higher or way lower than other places' reviews, and all those cases are a bit innaccurate. But, IGN still gets coverage way right, so they do earn a spot on the list, and that's what I use them for. They have great coverage of pretty much every game at E3 on their Youtube page and on their website. Plus, they help gamers with cheats or easy achievements by giving walkthroughs of pretty much any game I've played on current and last gen consoles. Their reviews aren't always that accurate, but their previews are great.
3.(Gamespot)
This is the first website I used to get gaming information, and for the longest time, it was the only one. Their reviews are either spot on accurate or a little inaccurate, but they do show that these guys have opinions and aren't just playing to the devs with 9s and higher. Plus, the previews and E3 coverage is pretty good, so they definitely get something over IGN, which is definitely the more popular of the two. And while firing the now executive editor of Giant Bomb wasn't their best move(Sorry to him, but I don't remember his name. He is still a great journalist), they still do enough right to have my respect from a gamer's perspective.
2.(Rev3Games)
These guys aren't getting enough attention, even with probably the most famous game journalist ever Adam Sessler owning and running it now. Max Scoville, Tara Long, and many others do what I think not many else do right. They get me all the information I need, and they have a great sense of humor, and can make me laugh quite frequently. Their E3 coverage was pretty good, and their previews are good almost all the time. Their reviews are almost always spot on, and when they aren't spot on, they don't miss it by much. They definitely do what I don't think many others can do, and they earn this spot on my list.
But if people as great as Rev3Games is only #2, what is #1?
1.(Game Informer)
This is Game Informer, after all, so if you thought that I was going to pick anything else, you should recheck what website you're on. Their reviews are always spot on accurate, and their previews are almost too good. Their E3 coverage is the best of anybody, giving us a nice list telling us how each game did out of the best 50 total. Their website is also great, with user written blogs and reviews along with staff written ones available. And they have a list of things for users to do that's so large that if I were to write about it, that would take up the entirety of a blog on it's own. They're the number one gaming magazine in the world for a reason, and they have what I think is the best gaming website in the world, too.
Tell me in the comments below what gaming info sites and magazines you use, and maybe tell me what kind of list you would like to see next. Have a nice day!
