Who out there buys games based on game reviewers?

I've been relying more on reviews for a lot of things now. Movies, hotels, restuarants, videogames. They help a lot.

I tend to read more than one review to get a good understanding of the game. The reviewer may not have the same taste in games as I do so I don't base it totally on the final score. I try to base it on their detailed description. If it sounds like I would like it, then I would want to try it out. Again, it's good to read more than one review to make sure at least a few people liked playing it. If everyone says it's crap, it usually is crap.
