I don't trust one single review for a game, but I will trust a bunch of reviews that follow a similar idea. I used to completely trust IGN and Gameinformer, but ever since I saw reviews from them that have made little sense (GTA IV, Mirrors Edge, and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2) it has been hard to agree with them.
There is not one source completely reliable but is there one that's better?
Gameinformer: Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin's Creed, and GTA get 9.5's and 10's
IGN: Rainbow Six Vegas (8.0), Assassin's Creed (7), and GTA (10)
