Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
16 hours 2 mins ago
There are a ton of websites dedicated to gaming out there. SlapStic.com presents a list of five of some of the best of the best that you might not have heard of. All five are well worth checking out.
GameGrep is fairly easy to describe: similar to Digg but exclusively for video games. Yes, gamers, no longer do you have to wade through hundreds of articles worshipping Barack Obama in order to get to your social gaming news. Unlike Digg, this site has a fairly small community, and every article posted is guaranteed a chance to hit the top 10. That's because every single article that gets the necessary three approvals goes directly to the front page of the site. A lot of otherwise undiscovered articles get fairly popular here, and it's a great place to find all the week's interesting gaming news all on one page. The mods are EXTREMELY picky about what sort of articles get approved on the site, which can be taken as both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because filler garbage never makes it to the front page, but it's sometimes an annoyance for submitters. I've had to argue my case several times in order to get an article approved, which is really just too much to go through. The community is standard-fare for a video games site, which is to say that there's quite a bit of flaming and bickering that goes on in the comments, but that's unavoidable on the internet. I'm actually extremely interested to see if this article gets accepted onto the site, since I'm giving my honest opinion on it. Regardless, GameGrep is probably the single best gaming-based social news site on the internet, so I suggest you go make an account now.

Haha, exaggerate on 'EXTREMELY' picky. xD
Though it is great to see GG was evolved in this (H)
Personally not a fan of Gamelemon. Their brand of humor strikes me as "trying way too hard." Or maybe it's the fact that one of their bloggers complained about E3 because his hotel was not hospitable, and he was a whiny little snot about LA without realizing it's a business oriented city, and E3 is a business event at the very core. So really, aside from these sites I've never heard of, and Gamelemon being no. 1 (why ARE the top two sites so random?), GameGrep is, to me, the most valid entry on that list (side note, GG is Neoseeker's sister-site).
Stricter approval standards might help GG become a bit more refined, though.
To be fair, you aren't exactly specifying news sites (though the selections seem to vary in focus). Just video game sites to visit in case you are that bored.
lol I laughed at the whole gamegrep thing. The mods aren't picky, if anything they're probably more lax and simple when it comes to news. As for community and the bashing in the comments, whats the hell did you expect? Nice hippy atmosphere? I mean while people would love all that and shit, its the internet and you're going to get many people with different views on things which we won't always see eye to eye.
Gamegrep should honestly be number one out of those lists.
I do agree with you, however if you take a look at the other sites GameGrep is really the only social news site on that list, so there's not any hypocrisy there although it does call into question how they view social news sites...
Its cool Avalith, I still like you.
That has no relevance to my questions to Avalith.
