Gamespot should never be used for game reviews. They accept money for good review scores. If the writer gives it a bad score they are fired. The most infamous case of this is Jeff Gerstmann. He started a new site giantbomb.com. Their reviews are always well written and insightful. Also, IGN is a terrible place for reviews as well. Just my opinion. I like my reviews to actually tell me about the game not just say "This game is good" Why is it good? Varun is right. Gamespot should never be used for game reviews.

Also, IGN is a terrible place for reviews as well. Just my opinion. I like my reviews to actually tell me about the game not just say “This game is good” Why is it good?

I would never trust a word gamespot says personally EA particularly seem to do far to well on there. What's this gertman-gate incident about Mike?. never heard of it. http://www.eurogamer.net/ is a particular fave of mine they seem to catch a lot of games there that other sites miss. Merry Christmas IGN is the best of the bunch there the reviews are always well written.

They have to highest quality trailers and interviews, in HD, for free. Not even a membership. I used to go to gamespot every day untill the whole Gerstman-gate incident. I don't trust them so much anymore. Gamesradar is also my favorite place for games articles. Their "7 things..." lists are worth visiting for alone. You left out Gametrailers.com.
