Crispy Gamer underboss Elise Vogel pointed us to this article in which CG is toasted as a top video game site for gamers who don’t drool.
This is the niche that EIC John Keefer wanted to be in, and the list is pretty good company. From Killingsworth’s intro:
All five of the websites/blogs I am about to mention are adding valuable insights to the discussion and offering informed critiques of the latest games.
Because nothing is sure to draw readers like promising valuable insights.

I like Insight, we buy all of our hardware and software from ’em.

No drooling? That is so not cool.

What, you mean exclusive, grainy screenshots aren’t enough anymore?
I usually don’t like lists like these (why isn’t Site X on there?), but at least it perpetuates the feeling that there are writers out there comfortable with getting analytical about games, and there is an audience that wants to read it.
Also, glad Magical Wasteland got some attention.
