Respectable Reviwers?

If you want respectable reviews, skip directly to the User Reviews section of any site, toss out the ones with obvious bias, and draw conclusions from the rest. Do not trust ANY professional reviewer this generation: every last one of them has fallen to bias, one way or another, and that makes them all worthless.

This is the kind of attitude that has completely ruined the review system. Not even the reviews themselves (although they're a big part). Of course reviewers are going to be biased. Everyone is. Even those people writing those precious user reviews. Reviewers may be bad sometimes, but I actually trust them more than consumers much of the time.

A lot of "I don't trust this or that" is because gamers no longer want to accept review scores. They don't want a site to tell them that the game they've wanted to play for months or even years is average. So, they just say that the site is unreliable. It's the spoiled attitude gamers have gotten this generation, and it gets more severe all the time. 

That said, my most trusted review source is Vgchartz. It's the only one where I actually bother to remember any of the reviewer's names or what they say.

pretty much this except for the last part.

 

I think Gametrailers is the most unbiased source for reviews.

I also like IGN, although they are most likely too high with every of their scores. But that's not too bad.

VGC is fair for the most parts, but when I see GOTYs getting a score well below 9.0 I'm in doubt.....
