    Default Gamespot or IGN?

    Which do you guys prefer for majority of your gaming news? I prefer Gamespot for my news, as most of IGN's news and etc. is locked up under Insider, although i do have IGN insider. Gamespot reviews are stinky though, as well as IGN's.

    I find that most prosites have solid news sections. That's about all they're good for.

    I'd think that both of them are awful, ad chocked, and only worth looking at for short periods of time.

    GameSpot. IGN is crap. Terrible crap. Horrible terrible crap.

    Sad that I also like GameStop who is IGN but hate EB which is GameSpot. But who cares. GameSpot is the first source I go to to find out about a new upcoming or released game.

    IGN. I only go to these sites for reviews, and I find GameSpot's reviews biased and sometimes very inaccurate.

    For reliable information Gamespot is better then IGN by leaps and bounds. But it's borring as all hell. IGNorrant, sorry, IGN just isn't credible, but at least they have some personality. IGN Insider is easily worth the money and it's just fun.

    It's really hard to choose between the two but i'm giving my vote to gamespot because their news is more important then IGN's bells and whistles.

    If they're so biased against Nintendo, how come the top two games on their top 100 games of all time list (Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Bros.) were both made by Nintendo and how come they continue to give very high scores to almost every Nintendo game? Do your research first before making claims like that.

    I go to Gamespot more often than IGN, so there's my pick. It's the lesser of two evils.

    That's like choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

    Gamespot, it just seems more well put together, easier to access, I dont know really I just like their design better. IGN locks everything up with IGN Insider as well.

    gamespot sucks. if its a game worth playing, but has crap graphics, the score goes down, and you would have to read a 5 pg article to figure that out. ign does score some a little too high (eternal darkness 9.6?), but ive found that anything that ign gives a 9 or high is def worth my time. ign is way better, and covers more stuff.

    I would say IGN by far

    I find Gamespot is really bias against specific things, though i do read both review normally and most times other than a few instances i prefer IGN

    depends for news they are basically the same.

    IGN is clunky. Horribly laid out. Not intuative at all. And ugly as hell.

    I reiterate. GameSpot rocks the casbah.

    No, because he spends time at GameFAQ's where you are brainwashed to think that way. Unlesss, of course, IGN gave a NIntendo game a high score, then they're the fucking shit.

    Whichever has the current exclusive preview or review is my favourite

    I avoid both as much as possible. I hate clicking links to them because of all the ads. I'd rather read Digital Press or fan sites, or even GameFAQs.
