Know any good video game blogs that aren't mere listings?

Video Game blogs? Know any good ones? i can find listings just fine, but i'm looking for quality. (More inside)

not looking for PR sites or portal sites, but just regular people. Preferably with an above grade-school writing level and/or some insight into the industry.

and of course an iridium-electroplated pony.

There's Joystiq; an offshoot of the usually well-written Engadget.

I don't follow that area, but it seems that the recently launched Joystiq may fit your description. (Though as I said, I can't vouch for its quality since I don't read it.)

I love Penny Arcade, I know it's a comic, but their blog is great too.

Xemu's Game Industry Ramblings, Hello Nintendo, EEG News, Greg Costikyan, Slashdot Games (Simoniker is pretty much the only poster), Ludologist, and Terranova.

Whimsy Incorporated is thoughts by an indie game-designer/artist and ludologist.

Game Matters... a blog by 3drealms guy Scott Miller, is excellent. Especially all the inside stuff about royalties and publishing.

Kid Fenris is a site that my girlfriend is always reading and praises highly; certainly every time she shows me one of the articles, I'm impressed =)
