A good site?

Oneiros · August 24th, 2003

Could you recommend me a site that focuses on or has a good section dedicated to GBA reviews and previews (especially stuff that just came out or is about to come out in Japan)? I've been looking all over the net for a site that fills these requirements, but it seems most "big" gaming sites leave the GBA section for the last minute and have almost no material on this console (like Games Domain).

www.gamespot.com is pretty good for previews/reviews, but their site tends to take forever to load. www.gamefaqs.com has reviews and discussions of games (in addition to cheats and walkthroughs), although often takes a while to get reviews up for new games. Still, you can get a lot of info on the new games from the message boards there. (In fact, I find the things people post on message boards about games much more helpful than any reviews.)

Thanks. I forgot to mention Gamespot. I never liked it so I don't go there too often.

Yeah, I only go there for GBA screenshots when no other site has any. Even then, I usually get tired of waiting for the pages to load and say to hell with it.

There's also:
http://www.gamespy.com/
http://www.gamezone.com/
http://www.gamepro.com/
http://www.gamers.com/home
http://www.gamesdomain.com/indexus.html
http://www.avault.com/consoles/
http://www.ign.com/
NOTE: I haven't tried any of these sites myself, I just found them on a search.

Also, have you tried the homepages for the individual gaming companies? (nintendo.com, sega.com, etc)

No, I haven't. I don't trust the official websites since they tend to hype their games. They can come in handy when trying to find out a release date, though.
