Which site do YOU care the most about reviews?

forget SW, which site do you care the most about.

i think that the average of opinions is always better then just 1.

also which site is better GR or MC?

I only care about my opinion.

Demos>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>reviews.

I look at a few review sites and if the game averages 8/10 it's worth buying.

As stated, your opinion is most important.

Most review sites get payed anyways.

Metacritic and GR are terrible. You need to read GI's article last month on the subject.

I trust a few AUTHORs, who just so happened to be employed by a few sites/mags.

Game Informer + IGN + Gamespot + Gametrailers...plus a little PLAY and Gamepro to some degree.

I also like Randy Nelson, who writes whereever, and this month he's at OPM. That's about it.

Metacritic is what i look at when i look for new games i want.

Honestly, none of the above. I pay little to no attention to reviews when purchasing games, but I'll say Gamespot because it can make SWs fun, whichhas been lacking lately. We need an absolutely gigantic flop. Twilight Princess-style.

I care about the overall opinion of the game not just 1 persons. So obviously Gamerankings/Metacritic. The only reason people use Gamespot on here is so they can spout their ridiculous rhetroic Oooooo the game on my console is .5 better on Gamespot and it's AAAE instead of AAE really that .5 makes it that much better:roll:

i dont care about what they have to say as long as i like it

I generally seem to agree with Game Trailers more than any other site.

Yeah. You can always learn more about a game from a tiny section of gameplay hand-selected by the publisher/developers to make the game seem good than you can from a professional critic's opinions on the full game.

i get more out of podcast like listen up and giantbomb. id much rather listen toa group of people discuss theirexperiances with a game and ive been listening to these podcasts for so long now i trust their opinions, i dont always agree with them but i find that far more use fullthan some arbitrary number picked out of the air

After GS giving perfect 10's to obviously flawed & lacking games like GTA4 & MGS4, definitely not GS.

IGN, but GR is a good overall average. Gamespot isn't a bad source either, but they tend to be too critical at times. A 9 game elsewhere would be 8.0 or 7.5 here, for example.NYrockinlegend

I'lll buy based on what I like No review site needs to tell me just because a Game scores good I "NEED" to play it

IGN is my favorite. Although, I don't put too much faith in anyreviews.

IGN

None.

The worst is gametrailers, they give likeEVERY game 8.0+

Nice set of options there. Aggregate scores am fail. In terms of quality written reviews that give a good, grounded opinion on games: Eurogamer. In terms of the lulz and some good criticism: Zero Punctuation.

I dont usually put the reliance of a purchase on reviews. I follow a game that interests me and if it keeps my interest all the way to its release, then I add it to my library. This has proven ill in the past, so I occasionally head on over to Metacritic to see what the review sites have to say about games I am not positive on. However, even then I dont really look at the score, I look at the criticisms and judge whether or not they are large enough to sway me away from the game

None, I read as many reviews as I can find, take what's common opinion, take what's common criticism, weigh it against my personal standards and then decide. I would never trust the garbage that is IGN though.

Metacritics/Gamerankings

Everyone. But i'm most interested in what they have to say, and not the scores they give. I also think dedicated magazines like the Official PlayStation Mag are more credible than people give them credit for. People assume just because they are a Playstation Mag they will score exclusives high. It's actually the opposite. Since they only review PS3 games they are not worried about scoring the games in comparison with 360 games, and they generally give a game a deserving score.Couth_

I really go by what I fell will be a good game, even it is scoring not so well from major sites. Usually, if 1up, gamespot, and gameinformer all three give a game a good review, it would be a game I would consider buying. However, I know what games I like, so when games like Final Fantasy and MGS4 score well, they are just not my type of game. I go by how I feel, not how others feel usually.

Ever since gamespot gave Uncharted 1 an 8.0 for being "too hard", I stopped taking them seriously. I dont let website reviews decide what my next gmae will be. But if anything I prefer metacritic.

Gamespot, IGN and Game Informer are the top places I check out reviews but I dont rely on them

I think there was a wee bit more to it than that.

But anyway, mean old Mr. Davis left GS quite a while ago, so feel free to start taking them seriously again.
