Got to go with IGN as my most trusted. They never seem biased in their reviews and are always fair. I used to hold Gamespot in a similar pedigree but after the Kane and Lynch incident as well as several other questionable reviews they're at the bottom with Eurogamer and Edge and X-Play.

Gametrailers is probably my 2nd favourite would be my fav if they didn't give MGS4 a lower score the Halo 3

This.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

the worst ones are obviously Nintendo Power, OXM, and PS Magazine

kinda biased

the best is Edge

Aren't most reviews biased on a certain degree? Quite frankly I read many different reviews before coming to a conclusion whether or not to buy a game. After all we're all critics aren't we? Well if you really want to know: Best- IGN(I have mixed feelings about them though) and Gametrailers; Worst - Gamespot, Gameinformer(at least I had a free subscription >_>), and Gamepro.

I trust IGN more than any other site.The worst might be Gamespot in my opinion.

my favorites are IGN, gameinformer, and vgchartz.

I don't really pay attention enough to reviews to have a worst

X-play used to really piss me off sometimes, especially when they would use their reviews to test out their new comedy routines, it is good to have humor in the review, but not so much to where it ceases to be a review and turns into a skit.
