I can't stand the layout of Game Rankings but Metacritic is a great way of finding out about a game you don't know much about. Reading a couple of reviews is fairly meaningless unless you know you usually agree with those authors. An averaged out number gives you a good idea of whether it's any good and the links to all the different reviews with different ratings really helps you decide whether a game is officially good but not your thing, or officially bad but you'd enjoy it.
