Where do you go for game news and reviews?

I hate to say it, but I go to Gamespot.

I used to go to the Cnet game source, but they folded with Gamspot back in 98.

www.gamespot.com Past that its Gamespy, 3dgamers, goinggold, and a few minor ones.

I don't surf much about games, so most of my game-related surfing is done here at Shrapnel or directed to a site/game by way of a friend.

My main source of info on games is two magazines,.. PCGamer and Compter Gamming World. I buy one or the other every month and every other month I get both. Especially if they are reviewing a game i'm interested in. Sometimes the best part of these mags is the 'pipeline' news about what's in the works.

That's it in a nutshell.

Cheers!

I don't. Sad to say, this is the only game I play.

I prefer to review the game myself, look for a demo or something online. I rairly trust any company to know what I would like.

I like Gamespy.com and Game Informer magazine... hey, you aren't considering advertising your games, are you?

I go by word of mouth, my brother got me hooked on SEIII and I have been at it ever since I got him into Star Fury

turn around is fair play

I have to say the worlds most popular gaming stuff would be Gamespy.com well for euro there is one more pop but you would not like euro langs. So gamespy.com and gamespot.com they are both really great and a lot of people use them, ALOT.

When applicable, my first stop is specialised magazines, like the French magazine PC4War for strategy games. If I am interested in the multiplayer part of the game, I also check the community. And for more general information, I usually head for sites like the Underdogs of Moby Games.

I do not often check demos though: there aren't so many games likely to strike my fancy, and I only play demos to get a feel of the game (I cannot recall one demo I played for more than one hour).
