FunandBoardgames.com
Attractive site edited and maintained by W. Eric Martin, who also appears from time to time at Boardgamenews.
In a cynical mood, the professional look and feel of funandboardgames.com had me looking for a close vendor association, but this is not present. At the bottom of reviews will be a small selection of references to retailers where a given game can be acquired, but in some cases this is information such as: "xxx has been out of print for decades, but you can search for used copies in the BoardGameGeek Marketplace, on eBay (where they sell anywhere from one cent to $10), and in thrift stores".
So despite banner ads, etc. (which are all perfectly acceptable in my book!), this site is the real deal, and Eric's reviews and commentary are quality content. And he provides feeds.
Apparently up and running only since Oct 2006, it is a slight worry that no new material has been posted since mid December. I hope we'll see fresh content here again soon...

Thanks for the nice words about the FunandBoardgames look! No, I'm not associated with any vendor, although I was using a Funagain associate link for a while.
I took over as editor of Boardgame News in late November 2006, and that site requires a ton of work, which is why FAB has kind of fallen by the wayside. I do intend to post reviews at various times, but most of my time has been spent trying to turn Boardgame News into something that can support me so that I can focus on it full-time.
