How much notice do you take of Game reviews?

Usually when I'm looking for games to add to my collection for whatever platform, I go with my gut instinct. That just means if it feels, sounds and looks right then I'll buy it. Using this system, very rarely do I buy a game I hate.

Occasionally, I may move away from this system and rely on gamer reviews usually of the critic kind and often will find that I'm totally unsatisfied with the game.

So many times I've spent hundreds of pounds (and I'm not kidding) on games that I've read reviews for and bought only to have to resell them on because they're something I wouldn't normally touch with a 10ft barge pole.

Just wondering if anyone else has their own little system for buying games? Do you take much notice of readers and/or critic reviews? Or do you use your gut instinct as to whether a game is right for you?

Would love to hear from you!
