I know that some here aren't fans of the Penny Arcade comic (and today's offering seems like a case lesson in exactly why, I really don't get it).
That said, Penny Arcade Report http://penny-arcade.com/report/ is some of the best game news reporting I've seen in a loooong time.
I've been abandoning one "gaming news" site after another as, one by one, they all lose all sense of journalistic integrity. IGN has long since been in the gutter, and sites like 1Up have followed them. I tried Joystiq and Kotaku for a while, but both of those are pretty poor these days. Until now, I've basically been limited to a few out of the way fan forums and Arstechnica's gaming news if I wanted something resembling actual journalism.
It seems that sites like Kotaku and such have been letting go of their talented journalists as they have "restructured to actualize modern commerce paradigms" (ie, sell out). Penny Arcade picked them up and set them to work on some the best news reporting I've seen in gaming.
Check this article: http://penny-arcade.com/report/article/t...ing-and-no It's an opinion piece done right.
I'd check out all their news. I've been making it one of my go-to stops lately for gaming news and so far it has been great.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
