I'm re-doing my RSS feeds and noticed all the gaming sites are just regurgitating the same stuff in clickable news links.

I was wondering if anyone follows any sites that cover gaming from a different angle? Whether it's thoughtfull discussion about game mechanics, the future of games etc or whether it's investigative journalism?

Thanks :)

Uppercut, Unwinnable, and Into the Spine sound to me like what you're looking for. Paste has quietly raised up a lot of great games writers, too.

I also recommend reading lots of reviews for games you're interested in. Listen to spoilercasts about them. Pay attention to the bylines, and when a critic says something that gets your mind going, try checking out what else they've written. Most critics are active on social somewhere, and if you like what they have to say, they'll probably share other writing that's similar.
