We saw over at Lifehacker that a new community-based game review site called Gibbity is up and running:

Gibbity is a people-powered, game discovery engine. As a participant, you can either explore the current game listings and review stuff you find, or you could contribute games that aren't there yet and review those. That's basically all there is to it (but you're welcome to check out the lengthier description and explanation here, if you've got time to kill.) Ideally, it allows users to quickly find new (and old) games that other users have picked up and enjoyed. Kinda like Amazon.com's review/recommendation engine, except that it's smaller, simpler and doesn't ask you to pull out your wallet every other page-load.

A pretty cool idea... sort of Gamespot meets Wikipedia. The word of warning here is that a good deal of the reviews themselves tend to be just about as amateurish and indiscriminate as you'd expect, but there are a few good ones. Like the Gamefaq forums, though, expect this to soon degenerate into the fanboy humping and flaming that you expect. We'd love to see an intelligent community game review site, but without there being some sound way to shut the idiots up, we doubt that's going to happen.
