Joystiq and Destructoid are my go-to gaming news sites (other than r/games). I used to browse Kotaku occasionally for the lulz, but stopped when I read an article giving tips on how to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Apparently over half the journalists on the site didn't know basic controls, like the importance of parrying, or how to use/unlock the unlockable dodge, and blamed the game for not properly explaining these mechanics. However, the game has a freaking tutorial that explains parrying, and additional tutorials about nearly every mechanic in the game. It also has a complete movelist two button presses away. That article pushed me over the edge of "haha these guys are so bad it's funny" to "how the fuck do you have a job playing/reviewing games?"
