IGN
As someone who is in the Game Design industry, it is very important for me to keep track of what is going on between different companies, consoles, and games. IGN gives all the important details that I need between showing how games have influenced the future of Game Design and Lawsuits against certain companies for stuff like copyright and trademark infringement against other companies or just even smaller games earning money. They also just have walkthroughs of different games and they point out key features that represent very specific themes in said games. There are also game reviews for people to see others opinions on what they feel about certain games, certain aspects that they link and other aspects that they are not a fan of.
Twitter/X
Twitter, now known as X, is a very good way to find information across the world with it getting constant updates from many different people. You could practically find anything on X but the thing that makes this source of information valuable is the way it feeds it to you. Initially as you first get on X, there are loads of different types of posts whether it's related to politics or if it has to do with new on games but as you explore X more and more, it takes that information of what you look at and tries to send you more information that is more so related or more something that X would think that you would be interested in seeing. For example, I look at posts for e-sports, specifically for a game called Smash Ultimate, about like upcoming tournaments and stuff like that. X would the give me information on other tournaments and results, people posting tier lists, and so on. This proves to be very useful as it gives me information that is useful to me.
Microsoft Start
Another piece of news that I use quite often is a website called Microsoft Start or MSN for short. The way MSN works is that it takes what you look at on the Microsoft web and then it feeds you articles that you can look at that relates to what you are interested in. However the big difference between this and Twitter is that every time you open up a different browser to like look up anything, MSN will have a little spot where it rotates out different articles that you can look at or just ignore and continue web browsing like normal. I have looked at a couple different articles relating to mainly game releases or information related to different companies that makes games. They can also release information about not related to your recent searches to give you some new stuff to look at too.
CNN
If I am ever wanting to look at just news about politics to see what is going on in the world, I would usually just look at CNN. Ever since middle school, I have used CNN as a reliable source for political news and they are also very informative about politics that happen today. They also talk about past events that have happened, stating historical, important information to better help us understand how we are where we are today. They are very reliable as I have been using CNN for about 10 years and I have learned a lot just from skimming through their news articles and videos, even to the point where they get used during history classes to help inform students about past events.
ESPN
One last news website that I rarely look at is ESPN. Even though I don't use it a lot, ESPN is perfect for people who either want to know what happened between a game or whether a team drafted a new player. ESPN is a very resourceful website just for helping people understand what exactly is going on the in sports scene. They can talk about how a certain player got injured as well so they have many different types of information that they feed into ESPN for people to know. The best part of ESPN though is that they also have streaming services so you can watch games live on their website to see what's happening.
