Forums - Gaming Discussion - Which Reviews Do You Trust Most?

What site/reviewer do you trust the most for video games? Which site/reviewer do you trust the least?



Bah!

Around the Network

the reviewer i trust the most is ultimate chance on youtube. hes honest their are no spoilers in his reviews and they cover anything i want about the game. also hes a gamer like me so he knows what hes talking about inlike some folks at ign.

the site i trust the least is xplay. come on a 26 second review of megeman 10?



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

I guess Gamespot. I find I often agree with their scores even if there are exceptions.

I really like IGN and GameInformer, I just ignore the scores and read the text reviews. Both of those do a good job of laying out what the game is going to be like. Gamespot's pretty good too. Most reviewers are pretty good actually, if they know how to write at least, and you ignore the score part of it.



i don't trust any reviewer at all , but i do enjoy watching reviews of this guy : Classic Game Room HD

he always jokes and never have scores because he hate scores and dont like people deciding their purchase based on scores but rather than the CONTENT OF THE GAME

also i hate IGN because they compare every game to halo.

Least - anything not in English. Not because I have anything against them, but I can only read English and numbers should be secondary

Most - I like VGC and IGN. Of course I've had my problems with some reviews (like IGN saying a game was too hard and knocking a point or whatever) overall I like reading the reviews.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Gametrailers is number one.

IGN, Gamsepot and Eurogamer are good too.



Gamespot, IGN (even though there to lient), 1up, Game Informer (i love them because they are harsh, if they say something is good 90% of the time its good) and zero punctuation, because its hilarious

I hate fan reviews, because they are so biased its not even funny



i get most of my information's from gamespot and gametrailers, and i have started to look a lot at nowgamer recently, but i wouldn't say i trust any of them... well i do, but not in the "if they say it is, it must be" kind of way.
i am more interested in what the game has to offer than how good they think it is, but a great review can definitely spark my interest in a game that wasn't on my radar before.



Eurogamer with GameTrailers a close second. I don't know who I don't trust though...
