It's been many years and I've found very few outlets that consistently resonate with me.
In terms of review quality, I think the best one is Easy Allies (formed by folks who used to work at GameTrailers). They match video clips with a well-written script and professional narration so perfectly. You can tell they haven't just thoroughly played the game under review, but they know its history among the genre. But IMO they focus too much on console, where I'm PC-only.
I'm also a Linux gamer now. Gaming On Linux and Boiling Steam are good for that, but I'm open to more.
