Have any of you ever been screwed by a reviewer into buying a game?

I remember reading alot of comments from people saying they were reluctant to by skyward sword because of the gamespot review

nope... i watch review just for a laugh....

With so many games getting good reviews solely based on gaming companies purchasing them by paying the website to advertise their ads for it, Second_Hokage

Almost all of my games were bought because of a good review, and they are all great games. There are some games that I got without doing research that were huge dissapointments, like Stormrise and Chronicles of Riddick assault on dark athena... I think the influence coming from reviews can only be a good thing.
