What are you're favorite sites when you want to read a (p)review and/or faqs for a game?

I often use
gamerankings.com
gamefaqs.com
gamespot.com
ign.com

What about you?
Mobygames.com
I go to Gamefaqs when I can't figure out how to unlock the door to sub-basement five or whatever, but I get my news almost exclusively from Rock Paper Shotgun.
Even with all the rampant trolling, gamefaqs is my favorite place to go.
Gamespot. Also some obscure finnish sites, which seem to have a "all news, no bulls***" kind of approach to gaming related news and reviews
Eurogamer.net
For news I mostly use Rock Paper Shotgun. For when I need guides I just Google and see what comes up.

And Rock Paper Shotgun.

I also visit a bunch of other sites from time to time, mostly forums.

I love Mobygames too. But for news and FAQs? It's not really what the site is about. It's pretty much a gaming wiki and damn good at being one too.

I'm actually not as much into games as I used to be (time and trying to feel better), but those are/were my usual sources.

I used to keep an RSS feed reader full of something like 30+ game news feeds, but it got overwhelming after a while. I finally realized I was doing more reading about games than I was actually playing them.
I don't read previews. I tend to watch giantbomb quicklooks or youtube footage of gameplay.

As for news I usually check Kotaku and Rock, Paper, Shotgun on a daily basis.

Forums I use vary tremendously. Right now I am big on GOG and some RPG forums.

FAQs? Gamefaqs, of course.
MobyGames mostly.
Sometimes my friend sends me RPS links, i'll click 'em.
Sometimes i get a CNET link, i try not to click that.
Rock Paper Shotgun
GOG
Battle.Net
Mostly Rock Paper Shotgun. They're pretty good, even if they do love Valve/Steam a bit too much for my liking.

The Escapist - mostly for Yahtzee, MovieBob and Shamus Young.

Twenty sided - Shamus Young's blog

Ultima Aiera - Ultima stuff, brilliant website (and even hosts some of my stuff!)

CRPG Addict - he's blogging his way through all the DOS CRPGs (list based on Mobygames and Wikipedia) He'll also be doing windows games, but that might be many years away!

GameBanshee - good for RPG news

Abandonia - Abandonware website

Reloaded - Abandonia's sister site, all freeware games, some remakes.

Rampant Games - indie game website, and blog.
