I couldn't disagree more. User reviews are often fanboyish in nature and you never know how many games that user plays a year. How much would you trust a user's Heavenly Sword review if they had never played God of War before?

Pro reviewers are generally unbiased as possible, they play a boatload of games a year (and therefore have a better idea if a game's features are new, innovative, or just another rehash of another game), and they generally have some kind of experience in writing and journalism.

Completely agree with this. Also, I find it disturbing that people just gravitate towards the sites that agree with them to reinforce their opinions.

I like EGM/1UP cause they call it like they see it, they shit on games that fall short, give decent scores to games that deserve recognition and praise like crazy games that are awesome.
