two not-so-hot gaming websites merge to form one super not-so-hot gaming website.
while i typically enjoy gamespy's reviews, its editorials and features are rather poor, and ign leaves a bad taste in my mouth in general. if ign wasn't one of the best places to find breaking news, (if there is such a thing in the videogame world) i would probably avoid the site all together.
now i can probably count on gamespy's reviews going down the toilets. anyone know any sites that have good reviews in a timely fashion besides gamespot?

I mean, it's not like IGN or GameSpy make games. They just report about them. Badly. The only thing about this that could concern me at all is Fileplanet, which I actually do use at times.

Too late. They already switched to a stupid five star system (probably because the old scoring was too similar to IGN's) so now every game either gets a perfect score or a crappy score that totally f*cks up the average at gamerankings.com which kind of blows since that's the best site to look for reviews.
Not that IGN Xbox's "every game gets a 9 or higher" didn't already mess up the averages but since I don't have an Xbox that doesn't really concern me.
Love the Penny Arcade comic. Are those two guys supposed to look like Planeteers or am I just overinfacuated with obscure references?

I wish they would show re runs here. And I also liked the NES game.
And I agree with PA, never really liked either IGN, and I visited Gamespy like once a month tops.
