Recommend video gaming/news review sites?

Not sure if this is allowed or not but can you fine folks recommend some good sites on where to find out the latest on gaming information? Preferrably stuff like zero punctuation/gametrailers.com or any worthwhile podcasts. I quit going to Kotaku a while back and haven't found anything that has replaced it. If this is a no no question, my apologies and please disregard.

    It appears gamespot would not be to your liking. :)

    Honestly, I get most of my news and info right here. And you get honest opinions on games from your fellow forumers you may not get from a review site.

    I get most of my stuff here and giantbomb. The whole whiskey media suite of sites is pretty great actually.

    Here mainly.

    I keep an eye on The Escapist, Shacknews, killtenrats, and tentonhammer. Mainly for interviews and impressions. Stuff you cant get here on the forums.

    I shall hijack this slightly. What do people really want from their gaming sites? Is it news? Humor? Video? Reviews? Interviews? Commentary? Insight?

    What strikes your fancy in an age with Google Reader, N4G, Digg, Reddit, and the like?

    Any examples of content that really stuck out to you?

    I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.

    I read joystiq. They hit the high points, cover some indie stuff, and do it all without too many posts/stories per day to wade through.
