BEE PREYING - Bernard Doria's shooting game playlog and strategy site
tsurage - Terrence Huey's blog and review site
Rid_Hershel's great anime/moe/games/doujinsoft/etc. news site
DOAONLINE (Japanese) - Random news on games (shooters, fighters, and fan-centric genres), toys, and rather suspicious anime.
Piyokun's Gaming Log - His description: "A hobbyist video gamer in middle of Japan's gaming zone. Comments on console, PC, handheld and arcade games." Very recommended. Crunk Games - embrace your inner Toro
Gaming-Age Forum - the forum for talk on the current state of the game industry, with news, rumors, and discussions of everything from the mainstream to the obscure, old and new.
The Next Level Score Attack forum - excellent competition and gameplay discussion here. Try the Gaming Discussion forum if you're willing to brave trolls and nostalgists for some decent game-history threads.
The MadMan's Cafe BBS - lots of Japanese game news and rumors come through here, plus there's a thriving fighting-game community that's largely free of infighting and inflated egos. 2ch-style shenanigans lurk in dark corners.
GameFAQs - Come for the database, stay selectively for the forums. There's some really decent game-specific discussion here if you know where to look, and barring the occasional missspellings and botched transliterations, the database is second-to-none on the English-speaking web.
the_game_database - Paleface's excellent game database, with screenshots and comments and plenty of focus on the obscure.
MobyGames - still riddled with inaccuracies and lacking for Japanese game coverage, this site is a decent source for console game credits. PCEngine Catalog Project - a HUGE database of all known PC Engine software, (HuCard, CD, SuperGrafx, PC-FX) with cover scans, screenshots, and reader reviews.
