Not really. I agree with most things that he says but that doesn't stop me from buying games, but I return many of them because I agreed with the assessment like GTA IV, DMC 4, DA:O. But games like InFamous 1+2, Mass Effect 2+3, God of war collection, DMC HD Collection, Crysis 2, Portal 2, Assassin's creed Brotherhood + Revelations, Way of the Samurai 3, etc. are all games I own and enjoy.Catfood220 said:You must have the worlds smallest games collectionBrotha Desmond said:
I use both IGN and Gamespot but I take their reviews with a pinch of salt. The only site that I trust though is Gamecentral on the Metro site, they seem to be fair and unbiased with their reviews. And Yahtzee for the giggles.
Nowhere.
I mean it. Video game reviews are pointless to me nowadays. I know months before release if a game is to my liking or not based on gameplay videos, trailers etc.
If I can'T make up my mind based on these then any review is petty much a lost case.
I have some games that reviewers said would be good and I hated them (e.g. DeusEx) and I got some games reviewer said would be horrible and I still enjoyed them anyway (e.g. Tenchu Z).
So aside from wasting bites on the net and ink and paper reviews recently (12 years?) never prevented a bad purchase nor encourage a good one for me.
Yea back in the day without the net and big marketing campaigns they were useful... now? Not so much.

I wish the Escapist did more reviews to be honest (from the staff) but since they don't, I go to gamespot occasionally to get a better feel about a possible purchase. Most of the time though, I pick up games on instinct and I use reviews to find games I might not have otherwise heard about.
various magazines but mainly edge and games tm if I am really interested in a game though (as in interested enough to consider buying it but not 100% sure)I will get info from as many different sources as possible by doing various google searches and watch things on you tube to see if it looks like it will meet my expectations. Did this for Persona 4 arena last and im still waiting to play it goddamn useless eu publishers.
If a games dirt cheap though I will take a chance if it looks interesting or I have heard something good about it sometimes it pays off sometimes it dosent but it expands the types of games I play.

I usually go to YouTube and watch someone show gameplay of a game while they explain the ups and downs the game offers. That way, I can get a good look at the game while getting some honest feedback from other players who are usually not biased.
