In about three months I'll be graduating with a BS in communications, and hope to do mostly freelance writing. Considering my only real niche is videogames, I figure I should start networking with more sites than just the Escapist.

So my question is, what other gaming sites, news sites, e-zines, and blogs do you respect and find to be an excellent source? Not just for game news, but also for general commentary on issues and whatnot.

Well, I can confidently recommend not Gamespot. It's not a very intellectual site, filled with trolls and "holier than thou" people on the forums. It's also been a bit out of phase with reality ever since Kasavin and Gerstmann left (the 2 people who created the site, by the way), so it just has never sat well with me since the aforementioned leave-taking.

Hrm...

1UP [http://www.1up.com/] and The Magic Box [http://www.the-magicbox.com/] are among my frequent haunts when I really need to look over gaming news in general. Also:
