I have to admit that I do use reviews as a reference to which games I'd like to buy. The review of Mario Party stopped me from picking it up. I imagine these reviews will hurt sales of Lair. I also like reviews from magazines or sites that give reviews from multiple reviewers. For example EGM or Famitsu. I find that one reviewer sometimes can be too biased to tell the whole story. I've disagreed with IGN on too many occasions.
Reviews from fans can be even worse as some will force themselves to like or hate a game. I suggest playing lots of games and comparing your own reviews to some of the sites or magazines and seeing who you tend to agree with. Those are the reviewers you should seek out first.
