Good game review sites - IGN replacements!

killswitch1968 · 9th April 2004, 17:08

Even since ign.com put in all those flash ads a year ago I've been steadily weening myself off their site. Is there another site of similar quality minus all that garbage?
Thanks

Sorry, don't think I can help you there.

But personally, I don't trust game reviews anyways. The only way to know if a game is good or not is to try it for yourself.

gamespot.com is like ign without so many ads....most of the reviews there are ok, but alot of their content seems to be bought out by developers just like ign is.

but if your just looking for gaming news then go to the-magicbox.com

Every (major) gaming site has those annoying flash ads. If you don't want to see ads, then I highly recommend you don't go online. And I'm not trying to be mean, it's the truth.

You should just go to gamerankings.com, it collects and averages the scores of basically every review for a game. And it doesn't have insane flash ads, although if you follow the links to the original reviews...

I like xboxaddict.com for xbox. ******** is another daily view for me. The only other gaming site i really visit is gamesindustry.biz

gamespot reviews are biased. they dont consider the perspective of the target demos of the games they review.
