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!

Yeah I know what you mean. Their style of banter and humor can be jarring, it took me a bit to get used to their way of talking about things. But once you get to know their personalities they become seriously endearing. Big fan of the whole crew now.

Pessimism is another story though. While I can totally see how you might see/hear them that way, I interpret it more as realism than pessimism. They know their industry in and out, so they’re not shy about telling it how it is.
