Have you seen Blogcritics lately? It really is quite a nice site. Most of the news and reviews are as good as anything you'll find in commercial publications, with the bonus that they aren't time-constrained, which means you're not just restricted to reviews of the latest and greatest of everything. Fair notice: I do publish there occasionally. But I still think it's a cool site.

I also understand they're looking for new authors. They don't pay, but you get the fun and experience of having something published. You might want to shoot them a line if you think you're interested in that. They only ask for one contribution a month to stay listed as a current contributor.
