    What is your favourite PC gaming site?

    for news, info, reviews, forums, hints & tips, easter eggs, etc.

    (besides NBR Gaming forum, of course! ;) )

    I just go to the gaming section here and occasionally I'll check the forums at CAL, but those forums are mainly just kids that need attention spamming (caleague.com)

    news?

    kotaku.com


    (noticed it was PC...probably NEOGAF or IGN since kotaku is more console oriented, but a great videogame news site all around)


    faq's/cheats/etc?

    gamefaqs.com

    Straferight.com for user based discussion and probably gamespot for a more editorial look at thing's and news etc,although I think they're not above getting paid for giving good reviews to games that don't deserve it.

    I come here the most, otherwise I'm going to Neogaf, which has a small but very knowledgeable, dedicated group of PC gamers.

    Reviews: I don't read them. I prefer the communities impressions.

    Gamespot, but after the scandal I feel like their reviews (from almost whole new staffs) are less deep and profound like before.

    There's cool site called "news for gamers, N4G" or something like that. Its kinda like CNN or Digg for the gaming world. Not so much reviews but just stories about random gaming stuff.
