As of right now? I don't trust any reviewer. Not because I think they're wrong or they've been wrong before or their opinion is different or anything like that. I just personally think every game released after 2008 has been total and complete shit. Once 2011 hits then I'll go to reviewers and maybe I can make a purchase. I mean, the E3's have not been impressing me but the latest have revealed a few good things so hopefully I can put down the Oblivion and KotOR and get back to the rest of the community.
Who are your trusted reviewers?

Moviebob....seriously, that's it. Roger Ebert didn't like Kick-Ass, I don't know whether or not I should take ZP seriously, and the guys on X-Play are douchebags, giving Tekken 6 a 3/5 just because it felt "dated." Oh yeah, because Street Fighter 4 was sooo different from the originals!
Well I watch Yahtzee, but If i think a game looks good(really hard for a game to look good to me) I'll RENT it. If it is good I'll buy it
gametrailers, ZP, gametrailers, and angry joe.
if i want to see more gameplay i go to Xplay....but not for the facts.

It just me or has X-Play completely hit the trashcan? Back in the day, I loved X-Play, back when it was just 30 minutes and only had games, not bullshit that isn't funny. Ever.
I try to listen to reviewers on youtube, not professionals. They're too easy to buy.
However, so far as movies go, I absolutely trust moviebob.

Moviebob, for sure. His reviews are always honest and acurate, and I gues he never let me down. As for games, well I trust myself.
Mainly Victor Lucas from Reviews on the Run. I like all the other guys on the show but I find I almost always agree with him, or I'll see the game in a different light if we disagree, he'll kinda open my mind if it's a little closed. I like many other reviewers out there, but if I chose one, easily Victor.
I don't really like them, but you probably like them because they review pretty well console games. For PC games, well, let's just say I hate them for not being able to review properly PC games. But yeah, I agree with you in the console game things.Z of the Na said:
OT: Yahtzee (most of my games like SH, Portal, Painkiller, Psychonauts, etc I got them because he liked them and he convinced me to get them). Oh and this guy [http://www.youtube.com/user/antisocialfatman]. And this guy as well [http://www.youtube.com/user/S0nicH].

Probably has the best ratio of reviews:me agreeing with the reviews.

I trust all reviewers to have their own opinions on games. If you were to ask me if I would go out and buy a game just because reviewer "X" said it was good, or not buy it because reviewer "Y" said it was bad, then I would give an emphatic "NO!"
Some of my favorite games have been games that everyone said was mediocre. And other games that people have said were amazing, I hated. I don't trust anyone to make my decisions for me.

I usually get my reviews from Joystiq, The Escapist (the actual reviews, not the purposely-biased Zero Punctuation), and recently VGChartz. They all do a pretty good job of being informative without imposing their own personal tastes on everyone else.
