Here is a bunch of gaming news websites which I check fairly often, with a few comments:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ - Rockpaper shotgun have good quality articles, but they aren't particularly fast with new news in my experience.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ - I don't visit eurogamer too often, so I'll leave others comment on this.
http://www.destructoid.com/ - Can't comment much on destructoid.
http://kotaku.com/ - Mostly video games, but also includes reviews for other things too.
http://www.polygon.com/ - Used to visit this place every day, since the layout is really nice. They put time and effort to make sure each article looks good.
http://n4g.com/ - News 4 gamers is a news website which links to external news websites and articles.
http://www.gameinformer.com/ - I found gameinformer recently, and have been visiting it much more frequently, as they have been putting regular articles about Dragon Age: Inquisition lately.
https://www.mcvuk.com/ - I can't really comment on this, but seems to be news about the busness aspect of gaming if that is your thing.
http://www.joystiq.com/ - Been mentioned here already, fairly good news website - it has its own sub-website (massively) which is dedicated to MMO games.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22774341 - Even BBC have their own little video games section. It's not updated very often unfortunately!
