Computer Gaming World: This is the gaming magazine without all the hype. Honest reviews tells you what is good or bad in their own opinion not that of the game manufacturer's publicity department. No reviews of vaporware. If a games sucks they will say so, and if the CD is best used as a coaster expect the reviewer to tell you that. How fortunate they left Gamespot, and the fetid morass it has become, and moved to Gamers.com
~~Gamespot~~: ~~The parent site of Computer Gaming World On-line. A real wealth of information about the gaming industry.~~ They screwed up this site real good by cramming ads and "membership", more pop-ups than a box of Pop-Tarts! How sad....
