Just wondering what sites you guys use these days for screenshots, reviews, previews and general news on games? Most inportantly for the PS3? Any decent ones out there...?

Used to buy mags, not really bothered about the net. Now since Ive got a new TV, the PS3 is getting used a lot more, so I could do with catching up on whats hot and whats not :p

Cheers
 
The best way to get an accurate score for the game would be something like gamerankings or metacritic that take several reviews and give you the average score.

For individual reviews i tend to find Eurogamer pretty reliable, IGN is really good for screenshots and Gametrailers for videos.
 
I use IGN mostly, a lot of people criticise them but I find for general previews, new, reviews, videos, screenshots that they're very good. I also use gametrailers for videos and their excellent video reviews.
 
Kotaku for general game news.
Gametrailers for video reviews.
Metacritic for 'distilling' all of the reviews into one for me.
The Escapist for some fantastic articles (and Zero Punctuation of course).
 
Gametrailers is ace for free hd game reviews.

Joystiq aint bad neither is ps3 and 360 fanboy.

Ign is good for all the media on games but i dont trust their reviews as they seem a bit bias.
 
I usually go for the video reviews on Gametrailers.com, otherwise it depends.. I don't have a go-to / favourite online resource.

Still, I'd prefer the online reviews over the magazines anyday.. there's just a sense that the magazines are heavily influenced by their exclusive deals / bribes to actually care about giving a game a low score. I'm not saying that online resources aren't but it just feels that way to me.

Oh, and the Zero Punctuation shorts are always a good watch :D
 
general news: joystiq
reviews: gametrailers

you don't have to agree with what gametrailers says but nothing beats seeing a game in action to see what its really like :)
 
1UP and Eurogamer for general reviews, scores, screenshots, etc.

Metacritic for a general feeling of the score of a game.

GameTrailers for video reviews, trailers, previews etc.
