From what I've heard of Joystiq, it's ok, but reading Kotaku makes my IQ feel lower than it actually is, they aren't that good.

Kotaku is the only one I've ever frequented, and it works for me. I'm usually checking it several times a day.

I go to N4G.com

It's pretty much a feed from a lot of gamer news sites. Really neat stuff.

Kotaku makes me want to puke. They have to be the WORST gaming site ever. I mean I really hope the people that write for them aren't paid employees. I'm saying this for one reason alone.

First let me preface this with the fact that I am definitely not a Nintendo fanboy or anything, in fact I despise fanboys of any kind. My friend is letting me "watch" his 360 while he's training for the Coast Guard, and I can't be more pumped about it.

The thing that makes Kotaku so puke worthy is their incessant nit-picking with the Wii. I mean they even bash the console in articles that aren't related to the system at all. (http://kotaku.com/5137453/left-4-dead-++-now-for-kids) In an interview with a rep from Sega, they ask him basically why Sega would ever want to produce games for a system that is made for waggle controls and bathroom scales. That's not journalism at all. That's pathetic.

Granted, it's not just the Wii that they do this with. It's just the easiest one to point out, because I can pull up about 75% of their articles to show what I mean.

I mainly go to GoNintendo for my Nintendo news and Kotaku for other system news.

No, they don't get paid...I think that came up in comments when Owen Good got laid off from wherever he worked at.

To be honest, I've never noticed them make fun of one console too much more than the rest. They pretty much make fun of everything. And I suppose I can't hate a place where a member can coin a new nickname for Cliff Blezinski (Dude Huge).

The only thing that I never cared for on the site was the constant barrage of Little Big Planet news, prior to and after its launch. But I'm sure every site was doing the same.

(Don't get me wrong...I plan on buying the game, but it's some kind of cardinal sin to dislike anything even indirectly about the game, including the media storm it brought with it.)
