Game Revolution - While I believe that some game companies have used their reviews to promote their games, GR is not quite as large or extravagant as the major video game sites. In fact, I think they've had the same look for a few years now. But they do have some great content, and a good number of reviews to thumb through.

GameFAQs - If you're ever stuck in a game and need some help without buying a strategy guide or calling a pricey phone number, this is the place to go. Thousands of walkthroughs, FAQs, codes, strategy guides, move lists and even glitch guides. If you're stuck in a game, this is the first place to go. I also visit the GC message board section quite often here under the name BurnoutCrasher.

Video Games 101 - Formally known as "Game Grandpas", this site is ran by one person, and is dedicated to game systems of the past and present. Contains a large number of reviews, and quite a few features and original artwork. Well worth checking out.

Into Liquid Sky - Although this site doesn't have nearly as many reviews as other sites, it's made up in other content found on the site as well as a sharp design.

Nintendo Only Sites

Gamecube Advanced - Recently redesigned their website to a more pleasing look, GC Advanced is the Nintendo only game site with a strange title (yeah, like mine doesn't?). Covering both Gamecube and Gameboy Advance systems, as well as future Nintendo endeavours. Great number of reviews and some great content.

Nintendojo - These guys have been around for quite some time, and they are not showing signs of bowing down anytime soon. Nintendojo has also recently redesigned their website to keep up everyone else. They have a great number of reviews, and also have some content worth reading.

Nintendophiles - Their web adress is a little tough to remember at first (n-philes.com), but they do have a great number of reviews to read. Covers both GC and GBA systems.

Cube Europe - A nicely designed site with some great content as well as up to date on news content. Although this is a site based from Europe, most games reviewed here are also available in the United States.

- Want nothing but Game Boy Advance reviews? This is your site! Great design and dedicated to Nintendo's handheld system.

Xbox Only Sites

Team Xbox - A large and well designed independent Xbox-only site with a large number of reviews and content, as well as previews and interviews.

Sony Only Sites

PSX Nation - Quite possibly one of the best sites to go to for Playstation only content. While they stick mostly to reviews, there are previews, as well as reviews of DVD movies. A huge selection of reviews to choose from.

Special Interest Video Game Sites

DC Emulation - A site that is sitll keeping the Dreamcast alive and well. This is the place to go for many types of emulators for the Dreamcast system, as well as a big handful of originally developed homebrew games to run on the DC system. Be sure to read all the information on how everything works before you get involved, or you'll end up with a bunch of usless CD-R discs like when I first started downloading stuff from here. It's a cool site, and can become pretty addictive. SUGGESTED MATERIALS FOR THIS SITE: CD BURNER, CD-R DISCS, DREAMCAST SYSTEM.

**NOTE** 9x DOES NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY. THE LINK PROVIDED TO DCEMULATION.COM IS FOR THE HOMEBREW EFFORTS PROVIDED FROM MEMEBERS THAT KEEP THE SYSTEM ALIVE. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE VIDEO GAME EMULATORS PROVIDED, 9x AND IT'S WRITERS DO NOT CONDONE THE DOWNLOAD AND USE OF ROMS, AND WE (I) WILL NOT LINK TO IT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO, CHECK OUT THE INFORMATION ON THE SITE.

Cheap Ass Gamer - Like video games, but hate paying full price? This is the site to go to save some money on the games you want or never knew you wanted. Just be sure to jump on a posted deal quick, because some games go fast. Also has valuable coupon codes for EBgames.com from time to time. I also post on the message boards often at this site under the name BlueStorm781.

VG Music - Do you have a favorite song from a videogame of the past (and some present)? Here's the site for you! Thousands of classic videogame songs and melodies available to download in MIDI format. If you've never been here before, you may find yourself spending hours going through all the music. Just remember to pace yourself.

OverClocked Remix - This site is home to hundreds of remixed video game songs of past and present. These aren't just MIDI rendidtions of songs, some are full on re-creations of classic game music that sound just like techno you would hear somewhere else. All files are in MP3 format, and all are free to download.

GameScreenshots.com - "More images than a porn site!" is what GSS claims, and it's hard not to agree. You can find a good number of screenshots for many games across many consoles. In fact, I've found quite a few screenshots from their site for my reviews.
