IGN, Gamespot and Gamespy are the sites I visit the most for gaming news but I have never been active in their forums. So I wondered if anyone of you are active in one (or more) of them and could tell about the pros and cons of their forums?

Or if you know of another good forum where you can talk about games in general I would appreciate if you let me know.

Ps. It wouldn't hurt if the forums are active 24/7 or based in Europe.

Mine's at Gamemania.be, but seeing as it's a Belgian (more specifically a flemish one) forum (ergo the language is dutch), I doubt that a lot of the B.net forum goers would have any interest in this forum.

Maybe if I spoke dutch but at least you replied. Should have made this post a little later.

Don't anyone else have something to add?

What do you mean by Ick? (I guess you are mocking them but I have never heard anyone say Ick before)

  • 08.16.2004 9:46 AM PDT

You've never heard anyone say "Ick"?

Oh well.

Anyways, Gamespy has never supported Halo (or Xbox in general) because they are mainly a PC oriented site. They've pretty much implied that Halo sucks and Half Life 2 Rules.

If you want three instances where I can prove this, I'll give them to you.

Do you mean Gamespy or Gamespot? ;-) But yeah I would like to see those three instances.

Ps. No I have never heard anyone say ick. But it's properbly because I am danish.

Oops, I meant Gamespot. Sorry about that. I really need some rest...

-EDIT-

Ok, before I log off (I have to go somewhere) I'll try to give you the 3 "proofs" as quickly a s possible.

1.) Their Halo score was very high at first, then went down after about a week.

2.) Halo is pretty close on the top of their Most Overrated Games of all Time.

3.) During one of their "best game of all time contests" (I can't even remember the corrrect name, I'll try to give it to you when I get back) Halo and Half Life were against eachother. When it started out (first couple of hours), Halo was up by some 6,000 votes. Then, suddenly, Gamespy says that only Gamespy users can vote, and resets the poll. Halo looses.

It's alright. But before you go to rest can I see those three articles from Gamespot? Please. I haven't got anything else to do. (like I ever have)

  • 08.16.2004 10:01 AM PDT

Whew, now you have them in the short and sweet version.

Damn, I have to go before I'm late! ;-)

Thanks. I think you mean that Gamespy doesn't like Halo that much. I always knew they were PC supporters but damn that vote resetting stuff sounds bad.

But back on topic: Which gaming forums do you post on?
