Gaming news sites

Octopuss · Feb 3, 2017

Any suggestions?
I have Rock Paper Shotgun in my RSS feeds but feel like I'm missing out on lots of things.
I'm also only interested in PC games, and not interested in extremely indie stuff (it seems like quite a few sites favor that <$5 Steam Greenlight type of utter garbage).

And I believe you can follow their curator reviews on Steam.

Wait! They are a printed magazine. Are they independent enough or all AAA games are "must haves" according to them? :laugh:

Of course not. I believe that they are not writing like "must have" thing.

I didn't saw that before.

All right. I just checked and liked their article about SDD M.2 drives and the autor's reactions in the comments. Added to favorites, ehem, bookmarks

There is a time before everything you know, in which you didn't know it! Sounds Socratic, right? :toast:

We may talk about philosophy but we need also right time, right place.

Anyway, PC Gamer is good.

What about www.techpowerup.com ? I've heard that this is a great site.

revin · Feb 14, 2017

PC Gamer is part of MaximunPC, both are very reputable. They're my second go to for tech right after TPU.
They had a printed magazine long time ago iirc

alucasa · Feb 14, 2017

I use that site since I also play console exclusive games.

They have been pretty independant, I say even petty in some of their AAA criticisms. I disagree many times (I even called them out in my Dishonored 2 Steam review), but respect their integrity, so I still read them.

This might look like a copout, but if you Google "gaming website", you get tons of hits to look through. One of them even gives you the top 15 most popular sites.

I was really amazed when they got to go to Intel few years ago to look into the SSD mfg. and testing lab. Stunning !!
Also like Gordon's rants lol, ..........much better than getting politics involved !
Agree with @rtwjunkie we don't have to totally agree with every single thing someplace write's, in reviews but as stated, indeed respectability is foremost.
MaximunPC has even mentioned how they respect/trust TPU and w1zzard over most any other tech site.
EDit: here is the older podcast about SSD's, it's about 30 min into it. Stunning work Intel put's them thru.
Thinking about they have worked on "soft errors" is/was astonishing
