Ever since GS gave Super Mario Galaxy a 9.5 and GoTY which convinced me to buy a Wii to play possibly the worst game I have ever played I cannot trust their reviews any more. I do agree with some of them, but others I cannot fathom how the came to give the game the score they did. I now rely on primarly Gaming Excellence for unbiased reviews.

Super Mario Galaxy is the worst game you've ever played?

I'm sorry you've only played that one game then.

I use, IGN, Gamespot, gamerankings and metacritic but if I just want a quick summary, I go to IGN.

Edit: Typo fix.

In case you didn't notice,Gamespot isn't the only site who gave Super Mario Galaxy such a high score.

For me its IGN anyday of the week. I think their better reviewers and I like Matt and Bozons style.

Still it's not like I hate Gamespot, I will check here for a good second opinion but their pretty slow when it comes to reviews.

I never go to ratings for what games I'm buying. I look at games that look they will be interesting and I buy them.

Sorry, but comparing the quality of reviews between different sites doesn't really sound like a discussion about Wii or it's games.
