This is definatelly one of the best gaming websites around. I like the layout of the website as far as sorting and just searching for individual games or genres. I especially like the fact that you can search game consoles and PC games. They usually have some pretty good reviews/previews and videos for upcoming games as well as ones that have been out for a while. If you become a member you have access to some cool demos of upcoming games and special videos. A great website indeed.

I like gamespot okay, but the much better gaming website is IGN.com. Both websites offer a pay-for-premium content system. I ended up going with IGN just because of their awesome features like "Gaming life in Japan" And "Head to Head". Both of these featured High resolution videos that you could watch full-screen, no problem. Head to Head compared the same game across the different consoles and told you which console had the best experience for that game. They also had a lot of good developer interviews and stuff like that.

 

The best benefit is the online communities. That have a ton of message boards. They have a message board for almost every system out there and it is quality stuff. Everyone on those message boards is paying to access it, so that gives you an idea of the quality.

 

I suppose my summation is really fair, considering that I've never experienced gamespot's premium content, but going strictly by appearance, IGN comes off as far more professional.

definetly, gamespot is one of the best videogame sites, but the downloads are somewhat slow ir you're not a premium user. I've foun some really cool info about new technologies and games too. When I got my first computer 7 years this was the site were I looked for reviews and screenshots, and now I still browse it. long live gamespot.com

Gamespot is alright. I dont think they are the best place for information out there because many of the people that reviewed the games screw up on the facts a couple of times. Even within their stream introduction of the game they screw up on the games production author. So their screws up one too many times has lead me to believe them to be a best source for information recently.I now only look information at gamefaqs.com, where I browse the forums for certain games to find accurate information. The information here gets out before the gamesites even have information on the game itself. They also have their own reviews and cheats section as well as guides section. The reason for the accurate database of information is because these are fans themselves that are researching the games, not some game editor that was signed to present the game like the many gamespot employees are assigned to do.One thing that I like that gamespot offers is probably their ability to give free streams of clips of the game itself. They are also a better site than "ign.com" where that site is filled with adds after every few clicks. Only ads gamespot present u with is during entry, and begining of a stream of a clip. Overall gamespot is a rather very great site alone.

I like gamespot and ign about equally. I prefer IGN a bit simpply because the layout of gamespot just doesn't do it for me personally. Both have decent coverage and some cool stuff if you spring for the paid service (speaking of, anyone wanna get me passes to either? anyone? no? ok) but ign's seems to be a little more thought out excluding the gamespot downloads being better.Personally I try to keep up on my news through the less mainstream sites too, they get the same news usually but a less sensationalized version/less biased version.

Yeah I agree it is one of the best gaming sites.It has a great interface and design, it is so easy to navigate through it and find what you want. Also if you register for an account you can set flags on games you want to watch and games you are playing, they also feature a wishlist.In my opinion, yeah it's great so use it!-HellFire
