Ages ago, Beex used to be the place where I got all my gaming info from but recently, things have changed.

I now find myself as being one of the few Xbox One owners and am about to embark on buying a Nintendo Switch. I don't think there'll be many others here that will get one this early so again, I'll find myself alone. On the whole, I'm o.k. with this but I now need to up my game and find out about what's out there.

So, where do I go to find out about the latest games and the latest news? Where do YOU go to find stuff out? Is there any sites or podcast I should be reading? I'm even open to buying a magazine.... I just want to be up to date with games again.

Eurogamer and Kotaku are the two sites I mostly tend to look at.

Yep. I'd also add Destructoid and Polygon to those.

My router died on Friday, so no possibility until the new one is delivered.

Then we can play and talk about what a dirty hipster Myp is.

I'm not sure that will solve the router problem.

I find that free newspapers, such as the Metro, are good.

I only play CoD and GTA, like some kind of fucking casual fake gamer.

Some good suggestions here so thanks everyone. I didn't realise that Polygon was still going so that's back in my favourites.

I still feel out of touch but I think I need to make more of an effort to read up on stuff.

Rock paper shotgun and the RPG codex forums. Yes, they're full of vileness but also most guys there have way better taste than game critics.

Pcinvasion is much better than most websites.

Polygon had some good features, but their reviews are in some sort of bizarro world.

Destructoid is probably one oh the least worst of mainstream sites.

Kotaku, ign, gamespot and the likes can go die in a fire.
