Which site do YOU care the most about reviews?

Really its only GS mostly that I trust they're views and prefrences usually line up with mine pretty closely. PTOM is a pretty good source but I find myself disagreeing with their reviews more often than I agree.

I look at a bunch and see what they actually have to say instead of just the MC score. Demos are terrible for me because they always feel just so removed from the actual game I can't get a good feel for them. Much rather play the game from the start then some splice.

Many opinions>>>>>> One opinion.

If it isn't mine ofcourse.

I like to look at what all others are saying, but I think GS is the most honest. Not all games are good. It seems that most sites only have a 7-10 rating system.

I really cant trust reviews any more. I mostly check to see if a game is a complete buggy pos. Other then that I rent games to see if they are any good.

Review is just a opinion from a certain critic and in no way are their opinion completely the same as mine, sure maybe we agree on certain points but for the most part there will be some disagreement so I really don't have one that I cared the most for. To be honest a demo is a more reliable sources for me.

I can generally tell how well a game will be just by looking at it (movies, pictures, info). When I don't trust my judgement and listen to what other people tell me I end up disappointed.

My opinion>>>>>>>>"critic"'s opinion (imo)

I don't really care about reviews I judge a game by my own.

Everyone. But i'm most interested in what they have to say, and not the scores they give. .Couth_

That right there. I'll use metacritic for the easy access to multiple reviews, but I'm using it to find reviews to read, not to put focus on individual or agregate numbers.

I use any reputable site. Bt in the end, I my decisions about buying a game soley on my own opinion of what I liked from videos and such.

[QUOTE="Couth_"]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.skinny_man_69

I don't get them anymore but I used to get the old Official Playstation Mag (that would come with a demo disc) and the info they provided never steered me wrong to a game I didn't like. However some internet hype and hoopla has steered me to buy a couple games I didn't like. Which is why I don't care what a game scores. I look at the content and the impressions, then formulate my opinion on if it's worth my interest.

I only care about my opinion.

I don't, as stated by several other people it's my opinion that matters, which is why I don't like certain games but they get high reviews.

Review is just a opinion from a certain critic and in no way are their opinion completely the same as mine, sure maybe we agree on certain points but for the most part there will be some disagreement so I really don't have one that I cared the most for.-DarthMaul-

Whenever it is a game they are flaming, they only care about GS scores, when it is a game they are trolling for, it is always GS score :P

That's not the point of reviews. Obviously no one is going to agree 100% with every review they see on a site, but that doesn't mean reviews are useless for formulating an opinion on a game.Cherokee_Jack

I generally agree with the reviews of Eurogamer and GameCentral ( while it lasts .. save GC )

but i will still look through Metacritic and see what other sites have to say .. but ignore the 100% scores from Nintendo power for games like Crusin'

None. I research my games, I can tell if I'm going to like it or not from gameplay videos, user reviews etc.siLVURcross

I really think GS is trustworthy. Every game they rate AAA is a game I always enjoy.

Game Trailers' reviews are the best by far imho.

But I always check Metacritic.

I actually go off of IGN and Game Informer the most.

i care about sites that give my preferred games a good score

i'm surprised ppl actually care about site reviews, what about ur own opinion? it's not good enough?

More so than any particular site, I look for specific reviewers who tend to, in general,share my tastes in games.Having said that, most of reviewers that I like work at GS or Giant Bomb. My decision to purchase a game ultimately rests with my opinion, but I find reviews a valuable tool to make an informed decision.

The problem I have with IGN is that their written reviews sometimes do not match the score. Generally, in the synopsis of the review, they tell you how great the game is and then spend the rest of the review telling you about allthe flaws.

I find most user reviews the least reliable. You usually get 2 types of reviews for a game: 1) the obvious fanboy who tells you that the game is a '10' and is the Second Coming or, 2) the obvious troll who states that the game is equivalent to dog poop. Not to mention, the reviews are so poorly written, it is hard to tell what was good/bad about the game.

Gamefaqs user reviews. Take your time to read a few and you get a better impression than any of these gaming site journalists will give you.

i trust gamespot because they are often too critical so when a game takes 7.5 of above i know that i will enjoy it. ign gives too easy high scores

I don't care for reviews much, but IGN's are pretty accurate most of the time.

G4's are also good (Except the fact that they are out of 5 Stars).

Only site I really look at for reviews and trust is IGN. Gamespot just seems off a lot of times so I don't trust any of the reviews here. I also read a lot of Game informer so I trust there reviews as well. Game trailers I like for the video reviews which I think are really great most of the time. Review scores don't really make me want a game any more or less, but what is discussed in the reviews is what I am mostly interested about. If the game has major flaws, I want to know about it and make sure that the sites that I go to for reviews will speak on certain things.

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