Gaming News Site Recommendations?

I read Kotaku to get most of my gaming news. I like their coverage because I feel like it's really extensive, but I'm getting tired of their writing. Sites like 1up, Joystiq, and GameTrailers are too media-heavy/news-lite for me. I'd like to find a gaming news site that's even simpler.
I just want a site that writes about game releases/announcements, and possibly posts a short blurb to describe what they're like. I'm sure there's a huge number of amateur blogs/sites that regurgitate press releases, but I'm looking for something that's a bit more quality than that.
Any suggestions?

Pretty much. I also read TIGSource for indie game news and Flash of Steel for wargaming news.
Rock Paper Shotgun does a good job. Giant Bomb isn't bad either, though their site can be a pain to navigate.
More "industry" news, but occasionally they focus on particular games. They cover Indie games more readily than other sites like it, which i like.
They write about every announcement they hear: an executive quitting, a new company forming, technical specs for unreleased hardware, etc. For me, it goes beyond the game and more into the story of the industry as a whole, which is very interesting to read.
