i used to go by pc magazines but realised i can get the news 2 mths earlier online at game arena. let alone they give you the new latest game demos which dont add tya dl caps.
i also get news from here and also some other random sites.
I go to <a href='http://www.bluesnews.com' target='_blank'>Bluesnews.com</a>, and sometimes <a href='http://www.gamespydaily.com' target='_blank'>Gamespydaily.com</a>. I also get the weekly file roundup email from <a href='http://www.fileplanet.com' target='_blank'>FilePlanet.com</a>, so that I don't accidently miss any cool new demos, movies, patches, and so on.
There really aren't any good game websites out there though. Most just specialize in 're-reporting', like the utterly worthless Shacknews and all its ilk. If you find one re-reporting site (like BN or GSD) you are covered pretty much for all info. If you want a good set of articles, editorials, commentary, less-biased reviews, etc. you really just have to go everywhere and pick out tiny kernels of goodness from a huge ball of wet turd we call the intarweb.

forums and IRC really ^^; sometimes check out fileplanet from time to time like mons but otherwise it's mainly word of mouth.
Used to be an avid reader of gamespot thanks to it's many movie clips and info and reviews and stuff and was even tempted to pay when they introduced the payscheme but in the end I just stopped reading it =/

why would i flame you for choice of a new site? so they try and make money. i mean, if i had a massive gaming site like that, i'd prolly try and make money too.
and the spyware.. well.. if some sponsors were offering me oodles of cash and other nefarious treats, i'd prolly succumb :S
