Where do you get your gaming news? (self.games)

I was wondering where everyone went to get news, reviews, trailers, etc. IGN has always left a bad taste in my mouth with their seemingly bias reviews. I used to go to the gaming, games, Xbox, and a couple other smaller niche subreddits to gather the vast majority of the info. Now I'd like some advice on what others favorite sites are. Bonus points if it has an app. Thanks!

I just watch Checkpoint and leave it at that. The "major" game sites have lost my interest over the years. I used to use Reddit quite a bit, so I guess the new main "source" is here.

What is Checkpoint?

It's a tongue in cheek video game news show on YouTube, done by Loading Ready Run. I think they originally created it for Penny Arcade, or maybe the Escapist back before it was just the Yahtzee channel? Either way, worth checking out.

Thanks! I asked because here, in Argentina, there is a podcast with the same name. They also cover game news. I'll check it out, for sure!
