So, who trusts reviews on this site?

Not me! the only good reviewer is that fast speaking english guy that ives in australia, his name escaped me at the moment(hes not at this website) in fact why not just go to utube and watch player video reviews, they are not corrupted. I find that there is no one i can fully trust but myself, I now must rent the games before i buy them because i just don't know what i'm going into, trailers only go so far. The only quality game studios out there is bethesda softworks, blizzard, jagex(creators of runescape, yeah thats right). Let me ask this, if Halo ODST turned out to be garbage would gamespot give an honest review, no the game would get 8.0.

You are thinking of Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation Video Series) and I am a big fan as well, he's pretty funny.
I don't trust reviews at all really, and some of the things that games get "marked down" for I actually like. Phrases such as "too short", "too linear", "bland graphics", "too easy" and the like only succeed in making me want to buy the game more.

[QUOTE="Fredrick2003x"]I don't think anyone takes Yahtzee 100% seriously but I agree wholeheartedly with his Silent Hill Homecoming, Turok (360 version ewww), and Halo 3 reviews.nVidiaGaMer

I think Silent Hill Homecoming is underrated on GS I agree with the 10s this year though. GTA IV deserved the 10 because its the first game to create a living breathing world something that Saints Row, Driver, and the Godfather could not.

True about GTAIV, however I didn't get as much enjoyment out of it has San Andreas, GTAIII and Vice City. Deserves a 9.0+ for sure, but not a perfect 10.

For me, I basically read the reviews of the highest and lowest reviews. The highest will give you what they think are the better aspects of the game, and the lowest will normally point out the factors that were either bothersome or just something that the reviewer didn't like. Then, taking that into consideration, if I still want to try it, I will probably rent it and see before buying. Though, in most cases, I just ask for them for a birthday or Christmas or something and it saves me my money. Though, as far as the score GS gives games, I rarely judge a game based on that. If anything, I more look at the score the reviewers give the game.
