If you're curious: Absolutely none of them, and the same goes for print magazines as well. I feel that they all have the same problems - they're all politicised and I find that it's impossible to get any honest information out of them as they're usually either in the pockets of advertisers, and/or otherwise taking valuable bribes in order to paint certain pictures, in addition to the fact that usually what equates to "journalism" with these outlets is regurgitating of the same press releases/press packages as all of their brethren, or just re-posting exactly the same things as other sites and blogs, and also blindly repeating the claims of dubious "analysts", with no actual research whatsoever. I don't like that, so I choose not to grant them money and/or hits that equate to advertising revenue (dependent on whether they're a paper publication or a website), and I certainly don't believe that I can trust what they claim, whatever that may be. (Some people claim that these publications operate as part of "a Pavlovian hype machine". Sometimes I find myself raising an eyebrow and thinking that these people could be right. :lol: )
The sole exception to this, for me, is
Retro Gamer magazine, by Imagine Publishing, which by virtue of covering things that the politicised industry has little sway over, does not have any of these problems.
As an aside, I've had much better luck with my purchases since cutting them all out of my picture, too.
(In fact, the only bad game I've bought in the last five years was one where I inadvertently got suckered by what ultimately turned out to be a false "grass roots" campaign organised in part by some influenced by such sources in an attempt to promote it. I still need to trade that one in, come to think of it. I doubt it's worth much, though. :lol: )
I can see why not everyone will see it that way and will question why I choose to refer to them as I do - my views have been shaped by my personal experiences, and others' mileage will of course vary.
