I generally go by metacritic as a first-step general ranking, knowing that personal tastes can adjust a score +/- 15 points (ie: Some 60 game I think should be a 75, and some 95 game I think should be 80)... At least 4 different reviews have to be published for a game score to be listed, and generally not all reviews are going to have the same balance. Then I look at the short summary of all the reviews on metacritic, and then the full reviews of the games that give some of the highest scores for the game and also some that gave the lowest scores, and then I use that... If I have to pick just one review source because all the scores are close, I generally prefer IGN. I think it better to go by the words in their reviews then their scores though.
