I used to read IGN reviews but less so now. They give too high a score for many games. Prince of Persia 9.3 and 9.4? Resistance 2 9.5!?!?? GTAIV 10!!?? MGS4 10!??!? They. Buy. Into. Hype.
Now I just tend to use:
-metacritic
- gamefaqs user reviews (not read them actually but just to scroll down the scores)
- previews/video footage/screenhots --> 'And asking myself would this game appeal to me?'
- I still look at IGN reviews but don't really think "wow it scored 9.5, I must buy this game"
