very surprised about Niche Gamer. They do good work but its mostly just news. I wish they did original content.
Surprised as well, since I rarely (or almost never) read the top two (Niche Gamer & Tech Raptor).
Well, about original content, that would be suit for "Best Gaming Website", not "Most Popular Gaming Website".
Popular means suitable to the majority, and I think majority just want light news, not deep coverage.
But still if it's mostly just publishing news, I though Gematsu & Siliconera were most popular.
Turn out I was wrong, lol.
Btw.. Kotaku didn't make it, dunno why.
