Gaming Websites to Visit Daily

Part of my daily routine involves surfing the web while drinking my morning coffee, and again at night before bed. There are a few gaming related sites that offer content frequently enough that I check them out almost daily.

Board Game Geek
Hands down the best gaming related website ever. BoardGameGeek.com has so much content I could waste hours reading through all of the articles. The reviews and ratings are extremely helpful when trying to decide what games to purchase, and the trading system helps you to get new games for ones you wish you didn't own. The best part is the game collection management, wish list, and play tracking tools, along with the gaming related social networking types of functions. Every serious gamer should be on BoardGameGeek.

Magic: the Gathering
If you play Magic: the Gathering there are plenty of reasons to check this site often. Plenty of excellent articles are written each week, and chances are that one or two of them will interest you. During the weeks leading up to a new set release this site is really great, with nearly daily card previews and fun to read design articles. Interesting new products are also announced here, keeping you aware of all that's going on in one of the most interesting and dynamic games in existence.

Fantasy Flight Games
Fantasy Flight makes a lot of excellent games, and this site features articles about all of them. Worth checking out frequently to find out about the latest goings on from a very interesting board game manufacturer.

Steve Jackson Games
Although I don't play as many Steve Jackson games nowadays, I still like checking out their website. The Daily Illuminator blog has an interesting daily entry that often has appeal beyond their company's games.

Penny Arcade
Penny Arcade is an excellent web comic with a daily blog post accompanying it. They generally focus on video games, but have talked a bit about table top games in the past. A very funny comic and a very excellent site.
